Organiser's Description
Come out and join us on Saturday, April 6th for the 3rd annual Kevin Dendy Memorial 5K starting at Gold Park and running through Hillsboroughs beautiful River Walk.
Captain Kevin Dendy was local to the Hillsborough/North Durham community. He was commissioned into the North Carolina National Guard and served one tour in Kuwait during the initial wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and provided essential medical care to soldiers serving overseas. Kevin had a love for everything outdoors - running, hiking, swimming, and riding his motorcycle. On December 29 of 2021, Kevin tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident. Proceeds from this race will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project of Fayetteville, NC and the Boys and Girls Club of Syracuse, organizations that were very important to Kevin.
