Sweat Bar Fitness Withrow Memorial 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Walk

🏅 Withrow Warrior 5K – Jerrod Withrow Memorial

Wait until you see these MEDALS!

Join us for the Withrow Warrior 5K, a powerful and meaningful race honoring the life and legacy of Jerrod Withrow. Jerrod was the friend, son, brother, uncle, father, and husband all men should aspire to be and he was taken from us far too soon. This race honors the person that he was, the life that he lived, and the service that he provided to others.

Jerrod was always the friendliest person in the room — the one making everyone laugh, putting people at ease, and lifting the energy around him. At the same time, he was one of the hardest workers you’d ever meet, constantly pushing himself to work harder, go farther, and become better.

On race day, that’s exactly what we look for.

• Show up: Bring your spirit and energy.
• Smile: Embrace the camaraderie.
• Have a laugh: Enjoy the moment.
• Dig deep: See what you’re capable of.

📍 Race Location

The race starts and finishes at Helicon Brewing.

📍 102 Union Avenue, Oakdale, PA

❤️ Rilyn’s Way

Rilyn Nicole Hughes was a beautiful 7-year-old girl who lived just a mile or two down the road from our race. After courageously fighting Neuroblastoma for five and a half years, Rilyn passed away just a few weeks ago surrounded by those who loved her. Before she passed, we announced that we would designate the final half mile of all our races in her honor. We have officially named this last section of every race “Rilyn’s Way.”

You will see a sign installed along the trail at the ½-mile-to-go mark. Please feel free to stop, take a picture, or use Rilyn’s strength and spirit to help you finish strong.
