Walk-Run-Roll
Representing their lone fundraiser, the RTHR hosts their annual Walk-Run-Roll on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend. The event consists of a 5 mile run and a 2 mile walk-run-roll. Proceeds from this event go back into making the community more handicap accessible and elderly friendly.
2021 Walk-run-roll
Amazing Support!
The 9th Annual Ryan Thimm Handicap Reserve Walk-Run-Roll was held Saturday, May 29th, 2021 at the Marion Park. The weather was nice, but a bit on the cooler side. The 5 mile race started at 8:00 AM, with 6 runners heading out. The winners were: First Place – Victor Ambrose (41:02), Second Place & Third Place (tie) – Grayson Kief and Frank Kief (51:29).
The 2 mile Walk-Run-Roll kicked off at 8:30 AM with approximately 65 runners. The winners of that race were: First Place – Autumn Michalski (13:30), Second Place – Ethan Stolpa (16:23), and Third Place – Kiana Killinger (17:13).
After having to cancel the 2020 race due to the pandemic, a lot of familiar faces returned to show their support after the year off. We also had a nice crowd of new participants. Ryan and his family and the members of the RTHR would like to thank everyone that participated in the race. Everyone did a great job and we hope you will all join us again next year.
