Xavier's Race

Xavier's Race is a memorial run at Gallup Park, held annually on the first Saturday in November. The event features three distances: a 1k Kids Run, a 5k, and a 10k, accommodating families, casual runners, and competitive runners. The event honors Xavier Randolph, who died at age 18 in a swimming accident. Its purpose is connected to his Christian faith, his passion for running, and his encouragement of others to set and pursue goals. Forged Ministry describes the race as a way to continue Xavier's message to “run in such a way as to win,” while providing the local running community a day to remember him.
