Harper Grace Memorial 5K Run/Walk
About this race
Join us for the Harper Grace Memorial 5K Run/Walk, a meaningful annual community tradition that brings people together in remembrance, support, and giving back.
Each year, runners, walkers, families, and friends gather to remember Harper Grace Lawler and support the Harper Grace Memorial Scholarship Fund, established by Amanda and Pete Lawler. Proceeds from the event provide scholarships to local medical professionals seeking career advancement, helping them continue their education, grow in their profession, and strengthen the care they provide to others in our community.
What began as a way to keep Harper's memory alive has grown into something truly meaningful, an opportunity to turn remembrance into hope, opportunity, and a lasting impact on the lives of others.
This 5K is about more than crossing a finish line. It is about the people who show up, the community that comes together, and the difference we can make when we choose to support one another. Every participant becomes part of a tradition that carries Harper's legacy forward while helping invest in the future of local healthcare professionals.
Whether you run, walk, participate with friends and family, or join us simply because you believe in the cause, your presence matters.
Come share the morning with us, celebrate community, and help make a difference, one step at a time.
We look forward to seeing you at the starting line and sharing another memorable Harper Grace Memorial 5K with our community.
