2025 #HonorMark 5K, 10K, 5k Ruck & Kids Fun Run

🏃‍♂️ #HonorMark

The purpose of the #HonorMark initiative is to carry on a local hero’s legacy of service and sacrifice by giving back to the community he served through charitable donations.

🎖️ About Mark Edward Hummeldorf

Mark Edward Hummeldorf served our nation in the armed forces with the Marine Corps for 4 years and as a firefighter/paramedic for Southside Fire and EMS, Bryan County Emergency Services, Savannah Fire Rescue, and Parris Island Fire Rescue. During his time in the Marine Corps, Mark was awarded the Purple Heart for his bravery, which he also exemplified daily in his actions as a first responder. Unfortunately, our community lost this hero on November 22, 2017 when Mark was tragically taken from us at the young age of 33: he left behind his beautiful wife and two wonderful children.

🚀 Call to Action

Mark’s enthusiastic attitude and service before self would want us to put our running shoes on and join his family for our 8th annual event. This year's event will be held at Daffin Park in the beautiful Midtown of Savannah! We are encouraging everyone to come together to celebrate and honor Mark and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
