IN HONOR OF BOB HENDRICKS

Bob Hendricks was the absolute best husband, father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, cousin, and friend to so many. He was a 2x Ironman, an Ultra marathon runner and triathlete. Bob was as humble and generous as them come and will be immensely missed, always. With absolutely no preexisting health conditions, Bob was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in February 2025 and passed away in March 2025, only 4 weeks after diagnosis.

This race is looking to honor Bob's memory by doing what he loved to do most -- running (or walking) and also raising funds to donate to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan.org) to fund research to identify successful treatments for a wider range of people (currently the 5 year survival rate is only 13%) and early/widespread screenings (currently do not exist).
