About the Faith, Miles & Memories-The David Doyle Memorial 5K
This memorial race honors a local runner and cyclist whose connection to Goshen Baptist Church, especially its youth, shaped the event's character. The course is a road 5K open to runners and walkers alike, with proceeds split between a cycling charity for kids and a local cleanup organization, two causes that reflect who David Doyle was.
The race is rooted in the church community, so the start area has a congregational feel rather than a competitive one. Post-race, the gathering is as much about the person being remembered as the miles just run.
