Organiser's Description
Billy Schmidt was a beloved son, brother, grandson, family member, and friend whose life was tragically cut short on June 6, 2026. One of his sister Anna's favorite memories was running a 10K together in Philadelphia on April 5, 2026. Although Billy could have easily finished much faster, he chose to stay by her side for every mile, encouraging her until they crossed the finish line together. That memory perfectly reflects the kind of person Billy was always putting others before himself.
To honor Billy's life and continue sharing the joy they experienced that day, we are proud to host the Billy Schmidt Memorial 5K. The race will be held on August 15, just three days before what would have been Billy's 23rd birthday. We are starting the run outside the Tropicana in AC and finishing at the end of the boardwalk in Ventnor. Afterwards we are holding an event at Maynard's in Margate.
YOUR REGISTRATION INCLUDES: SHIRT, MEDAL, WRISTBAND FOR BREAKFAST BUFFET AT MAYNARDS AND A RAFFLE TICKET FOR RAFFLE BASKETS!
We hope you'll join us as we celebrate Billy's birthday and keep his spirit alive, one step at a time.
