Rick Haggard Memorial Run seeks runners, sponsors for Aug. 29

Organizers posted on Facebook that it is not too late to sign up to run or walk in the Rick Haggard Memorial Run set for Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026.

The post urged community members to join in supporting what it described as “a great cause while honoring a meaningful mission.” Organizers also said they are still seeking sponsors, both businesses and individuals, and volunteers to help stage the event.

Memorial runs are commonly held to raise funds or awareness for charitable causes and to honor the memory of a person or effort important to the community. Such events typically rely on a mix of participant registration, sponsorship and volunteer labor to cover costs and maximize what is raised for beneficiaries.

Organizers encouraged anyone interested in running, walking, sponsoring or volunteering to sign up through the event’s Facebook post or to contact the organizers directly for details. Community involvement typically helps with logistics, promotion and fundraising.

We will provide more information as it becomes available.
