Races Near Me: Upcoming Running Races

Join Hal’s family and friends as we run the roads he called home. Just a couple of days before Hal became sick, he was out on these very roads, doing what he loved and sharing videos from along the way. Now, we’ll come together to travel those same roads in his memory. The approximately 3.1-mile course will begin and end at the Antioch parking lot and consist of two laps through Hal’s stomping grounds. Along the route, you’ll pass by his home, his farms, and the familiar roads that were such a big part of his life. And because this is a celebration of Hal, expect a few special surprises along the way! Whether you’re a seasoned runner, prefer to walk, or simply want to be there to remember a friend, we’d love for you to join us. This isn’t about how fast you finish. It’s about coming together, sharing memories, and honoring a man who logged a whole lot of miles on these roads. Come run or walk Hal’s stomping grounds with the people who knew and loved him. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 Running the Roads He Called Home.
