100 W. Washington Ave, Rocky Ford, CO

Date: July 11, 2026
Start Time: 8:30am

To: Everyone - especially friends, family, and members of the running community!

On July 11, 2026, we will gather to honor the life and legacy of our son, Joshua Ethan Snyder, who passed away on October 20, 2025.

Joshua found joy, purpose, and friendship through running—competing in XC for Rocky Ford High School and Track for Cheraw High School.

To celebrate the impact he had on so many, we invite you to join us for a Memorial 5K Fun Run.

This event is open to everyone; especially family, friends, former teammates, coaches, and athletes who ran with or against Joshua.

Whether you knew him personally or shared a starting line with him, your presence would mean a great deal. No fees. We will provide awards, snacks and beverages....maybe even a little swag. We’d like to have enough for everyone who participates. Please consider letting us know if you think you’ll be able to attend. Send message to: mattsnyd2828@gmail.com. Please feel free to come whether or not you send a confirmation!

We hope this run brings people together in the same spirit and haughty energy Joshua brought to every race—heart, laughter, and a love for the sport.

Thank you for helping us honor him.

With gratitude,
Matthew & Jennifer Snyder
