Bob Gurtler Memorial 5K Run/Walk

Get ready to hit the ground running in the vibrant memorial run celebrating Bob Gurtler—an inspiring figure whose footprint marked the Plains as a former mayor, a brilliant chemical engineer, and a passionate runner. This isn't just a race; it’s a tribute to a man who believed in the power of community and the importance of health and well-being for all.

Join us at the crack of dawn—8 AM sharp—outside Grace Episcopal Church, and set your pace through the charming streets of the Plains, before taking on the scenic stretch down Hopewell Road. Challenge yourself to the round trip, full of camaraderie and remembrance, culminating where it all began.

Remember, every stride you take supports Peas & Grace, our local food pantry, turning your sweat into a hearty meal for someone in need. Lace-up and celebrate a legacy while making a difference!
