About this race
Join us for the inaugural Bob Hicken 5K Memorial Run, a special community event honoring Bob Hicken's life, legacy, and impact on Gilbert.
This event is about more than crossing a finish line. It’s about bringing people together, families, friends, athletes, local businesses, and our community for a morning of movement, connection, and celebration in Bob’s memory.
Whether you're chasing a personal best, walking with your family, running alongside friends, or simply coming out to support the community, everyone is welcome.
After crossing the finish line, stick around and enjoy a full community celebration featuring:
- Vendor Village with local businesses and community partners
- Food and refreshments
- Bounce houses and activities for kids
- Giveaways, sponsor experiences, and more
- Awards and recognition for race participants
Our goal is to make the Bob Hicken 5K an event people look forward to year after year, one that celebrates Bob's legacy while bringing our community together in a meaningful way.
There will only ever be one inaugural Bob Hicken 5K Memorial Run, and we would love for you to be part of it.
Come run. Come walk. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Stay for the celebration.
Let's make the first Bob Hicken 5K a day our community will never forget.
