Sweat Bar Fitness Withrow Memorial 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Walk

Withrow Warrior 5K – Jerrod Withrow Memorial Wait until you see these MEDALS! Race starts at 10:30am | All donations go to the Withrow family Join us for the Withrow Warrior 5K, a powerful and meaningful race honoring the life and legacy of Jerrod Withrow. Jerrod was the friend, son, brother, uncle, father, and husband all men should aspire to be and he was taken from us far too soon. This race honors the person that he was, the life that he lived, and the service that he provided to others. Jerrod was always the friendliest person in the room — the one making everyone laugh, putting people at ease, and lifting the energy around him. At the same time, he was one of the hardest workers you’d ever meet, constantly pushing himself to work harder, go farther, and become better. On race day, that’s exactly what we look for.Show up. Smile. Have a laugh.And when it’s time, dig deep and see what you’re capable of. This event is built for runners chasing PRs, first-time racers showing up courageously, and a community that believes in running for something bigger than a finish time.
