2026 #HonorMark 5K, 10K, 5k Ruck & Kids Fun Run

Lace up for a race with heart at the 2026 #HonorMark 5K, 10K, 5k Ruck & Kids Fun Run, set against the charming backdrop of Daffin Park in Savannah, GA, on Saturday, November 7, 2026. This inspiring event, now in its 9th year, serves as a powerful tribute to Mark Edward Hummeldorf, a revered Marine Corps veteran and dedicated firefighter/paramedic whose legacy of service and sacrifice lives on through every stride taken. Participants can choose from a 6.2-mile 10K, a 3.1-mile 5K run/walk, a challenging 5k Ruck with specific weight requirements, or cheer on the future generation of runners in the Kids Fun Run (0.5M). The 10K course covers the 5K route twice, offering a mostly flat and accessible experience through Daffin Park, where strollers are also welcome.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 72°F and lows near 50°F, accompanied by a low 8% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable race. As you push towards the finish line, look forward to well-supported water stations along the course, ensuring you stay hydrated. The #HonorMark race is more than just a physical challenge; it's a community gathering dedicated to giving back, with all proceeds supporting the families of first responders and military personnel. Last year's event successfully raised an impressive $20,000 for these deserving families, demonstrating the tangible impact of your participation.

Crossing the finish line at Daffin Park kicks off a lively post-race celebration, complete with awards, refreshing drinks, nourishing snacks, and even a bouncy house for the kids, fostering a true sense of camaraderie and community spirit. Join the #HonorMark event to honor a hero, support those who serve, and enjoy a rewarding race day experience.
