About the Event

I apologize for that oversight. I have reformatted the description for the Love Like Deana 5k Run/Walk 2026 with the requested tags below.

The Love Like Deana 5k Run/Walk 2026 is set for Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Clarksville, IN. This poignant community event honors the victims of the Old National Bank shooting on April 10, 2023, specifically celebrating the life and positive spirit of Deana Eckert. The race serves as a fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association, a cause deeply important to Deana’s family. Currently, the event has raised $2,836.39, reaching 98% of its initial goal.
