Bruce Hollabaugh 5K Memorial Run

Hollabaugh Bros., Inc. is thrilled to announce the inaugural Bruce Hollabaugh 5K Memorial Run, set to take place on April 13, 2025, as part of the company’s yearlong 70th Anniversary celebrations. The event, which aims to raise funds for the Bruce A. Hollabaugh Memorial Endowment Fund, will be run throughout our beautifully blooming orchards on the family farm. Our 4th Generation family farm has been growing apples since 1955! As 2025 marks the farm’s 70th anniversary, the family is working hard to commemorate this significant milestone with a variety of events throughout the year. The one we are most excited about, however, is our first annual Bruce Hollabaugh 5K Memorial Run, to be hosted here on the farm. In March of 2022, our family and farm was turned upside down when we unexpectedly lost third generation family member, Bruce, at the age of 41. Production manager at Hollabaugh’s, husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend: he had numerous titles, but despite the many hats he wore, he always found time to support his community, too. Since his passing, the Hollabaugh family has adopted the mantra “For Bruce, We Will Farm.” We also wanted to continue his legacy in the community and in all the areas he was so passionate about in life. Bruce’s parents, Brad and Kay, started the Bruce A. Hollabaugh Memorial Endowment Fund* earlier this year. Managed by the Adams County Community Foundation, the fund will benefit the charities and community initiatives for which Bruce cared deeply during his life. Net proceeds from the race will benefit the Endowment Fund. Make plans to join us as a runner or walker and help to support many good causes and organizations throughout the Upper Adams Community and beyond. The race will kick off at 9am. We will have food truck(s), raffles, awards, and more. All registrants who sign up before March 31, 2025 will receive a free race t-shirt and commemorative medal.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: We continue to be blown away by the support for the 1st Annual Bruce Hollabaugh 5K Memorial Run. We are so very blessed with an overwhelming number of registrations. To ensure a positive experience as we navigate the coming weeks leading up to this inaugural event, we have decided to cap the number of entries for this year's race. Also, we will not be able to accommodate day of registrations. There are a limited number of spots left, but registration is filling quickly. Come out to walk/run and join us as we remember our Bruce. Grab your spot today!
