Get ready to lace up your sneakers for the 1st Annual Nehemiah Schoenecke Memorial 5K Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, September 20, 2025, in the charming town of Heyworth, McLean! This uplifting event is not just a race; it’s a heartfelt tribute to honor the memory of little Nehemiah, who touched lives in his short time with us. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a meaningful 5K run or walk, starting at 9:00 AM from Cole Street, just south of the Splash Pad Park.

Join us as we come together as a community to support While We're Waiting, a remarkable organization dedicated to providing free retreats and support for parents navigating the grief of losing a child. Your participation helps make a difference in the lives of families in need. Check-in and bib pick-up will take place from 8:00 to 8:45 AM at the Park Gazebo, so arrive early to get ready for an inspiring day filled with compassion and camaraderie. Don’t miss out on this chance to honor Nehemiah and make a positive impact—see you there!
