2026 Kerstetter 5K Memorial Run & 1 Mile Walk
Advertisement
On March 15, 2010, a tragic event took the life of a great man. James A. Kerstetter was not just a son, husband, father, friend, and police officer; he was a beacon of light in our community. In July of that same year, an event was created to honor and remember Jim's legacy. Now, sixteen years later, the Kerstetter 5K has evolved into more than just a memorial; it has become a symbol of unity, remembrance, and community support, embraced by countless individuals and organizations.
