Ryan Lambert Memorial 5K

Lace up for a truly meaningful race experience at the 3rd annual Ryan Lambert Memorial 5K, taking place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in the charming coastal community of Bowers Beach, Delaware. This uplifting event offers both a 5K run and walk, alongside a delightful Kiddie Dash for younger participants, beginning at 8:45 AM for the kids and 9:00 AM for the main event. What sets this race apart is its heartfelt mission: honoring the memory of Ryan Andrew Lambert by raising crucial awareness and funds for suicide prevention through the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), and supporting programs for Vietnam veterans.

Runners can anticipate a "fast and flat" out-and-back 3.11-mile course that winds through the beautiful roads of Bowers Beach, promising a scenic and potentially fast pace for those chasing a personal best. Typical race day conditions in mid-June for this area include pleasant highs around 80°F and comfortable lows near 63°F, with a relatively low 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. Post-refreshments and music will greet participants at the finish line, fostering a vibrant and supportive atmosphere.

The Ryan Lambert Memorial 5K is more than just a race; it's a powerful demonstration of community spirit, combining fitness with philanthropy. Parking will be available at Clifton Cubbage Drive, making access convenient for all participants ready to run for a cause and make a positive impact. Join fellow runners and walkers to support vital initiatives and honor a cherished memory on this beautiful Delaware day.
