About the Cody Michael Davison 5k Memorial Run
This race runs in memory of a specific person, and that purpose shapes the whole morning. It draws runners and walkers who knew Cody Davison and people who simply want to show up in support. The cause changes each year, chosen to reflect something about who he was, and this time it benefits Toys for Tots, a connection to his years of service and his love of children.
Organizers ask everyone to bring an unwrapped toy to donate at the start. Beyond that, the atmosphere is one of people gathering around a name rather than a finish time.
