Story Behind the race

Nathan Hergenhahn was a remarkable young man who was admired and loved by many he was well on his way to a great deal of success athletically (through football and basketball) and academically. In the summer between his sophomore and junior year he died in a car accident 6 days after his 16^th birthday. In an effort to stay physically and mentally fit, Nathan was also a runner and frequently ran with me (his dad). We had some of our best times together when we would participate in races together and we planned to run a Boston Marathon together. Since Nathan lost his life, I have wanted to put a run together in his memory and am proud to have a race planned for this summer (July 25^th) and will have annual races scheduled for the last Sunday in July of each year. This date is important because it coincides with 2 very significant events,

Nathans Birthday July 24^th and
The anniversary of his death July 30^th (which was the last Sunday in July the year Nathan died).

Since Nathan’s accident I have been in touch with dozens of Nathan’s friends and have discussed the race with all of them and they all seem to believe this would be a very good way to honor Nathan. We have decided to call the event “Nate’s Race” since Nathan was known by most as “Nate” and this race will be all about Nate. The Scholarship fund will be the primary reason however, we intend to keep Nate’s memory alive in every ones mind by surrounding ourselves with people that love and admired him and we will always have special events that pay special tribute to Nathan in a way that would be meaningful to him.

In the first year, we will have a guest singer to sing the national anthem, 2 dance performances provided by All that Dance Academy and a musical performance. In future years we plan to expand these aspects of the event. The event will be focused around the run but will be family oriented and will be a Hudson supported event that people will appreciate and enjoy.
