Course and race notes
Our Story. In a single moment, everything can change-and for our family, that moment came on December 10, 2014, when we lost our beloved son, Ronnie.
Out of that heartbreak, Ronnie’s Run was established in 2015 as a way to honor his life, preserve his memory, and bring hope to others facing similar pain.
In the organizer's words, from the race's own listing.
