In memory of Kevin M. Colwell, an avid adventurer and devoted family man, the Kevin Colwell Memorial Run invites runners to celebrate his legacy on September 24th. This heartfelt tribute features two distances: a challenging 5K race through scenic trails and a fun-filled mile for kids. The early bird entry fee is $30 for adults until August 29th; it increases to $35 thereafter, with the first 200 registrants receiving a complimentary event t-shirt. For young participants, there's an opportunity to join in on the spirit of adventure at just $20 before August 29th and $25 after. Kevin’s passion for life was reflected in his love for outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, running, tennis, paddleball, golf, and travel. The race route is designed to capture some essence of these pursuits, weaving through picturesque trails that highlight the natural beauty Kevin cherished so dearly. Participants will experience a slice of what made Kevin’s days truly special — crisp mornings filled with breathtaking views and endless possibilities. The event not only honors Kevin but also supports his legacy by raising funds for the Kevin M. Colwell Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship aims to continue inspiring future generations, much like how Kevin inspired those around him through his vision and unwavering belief in what could be achieved. If you wish to contribute without participating in the race, visit their fundraising page or explore sponsorship opportunities available on their website. Join us as we celebrate a life lived with purpose, passion, and joy — let’s chase some bluebird days together. For those who knew Kevin personally, this event offers an emotional yet uplifting way to remember his vibrant spirit. For newcomers, it's a chance to learn about the impact he made on so many lives through his zest for adventure and connection with nature.
