About the 16th Annual Remembrance 5KRun/Walk for HOPE

This race is built around grief and memory. Participants are encouraged to bring a photo of someone they have lost, which goes up on a memory board at the race and later hangs in the offices of the organizing bereavement support group. All proceeds go toward free peer grief support services. The course is a standard road distance, timed for everyone.

Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at the HOPE For Bereaved office. Registration is online only, with no paper or cash accepted on race day.

Common Questions About the 16th Annual Remembrance 5KRun/Walk for HOPE

Will I finish last at the 16th Annual Remembrance 5KRun/Walk for HOPE?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 44:36, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:22:55, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 16th Annual Remembrance 5KRun/Walk for HOPE a good first 5K?

A field of 252 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 16th Annual Remembrance 5KRun/Walk for HOPE?

The 5K winner ran 19:49 while the median finisher took 44:36. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
