Join us for the second annual SSG Tanner Grone Memorial 5K, a special race dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of SSG Tanner Grone, a beloved local community member who enjoyed bringing people together and having fun. This event, organized by Tanner's sister and one of his best friends, will celebrate his love for community, family, and friendships, while raising funds to support a Gorham and Berlin High School Senior who shares values close to his heart.
Tanner enlisted in the Army on July 11, 2017, and to honor his service and his spirit, the race will take place each year in July. The month that marked the beginning of his military journey, and the beginning of finding himself. Tanner was a crew chief for the 160th stationed out of Fort Campbell. He loved the unit and worked hard everyday. Tanner and four others were killed on November 10th, 2023 during an overwater training exercise in Cyprus.
The 5K course will start at Tanner’s soccer field, a place where he excelled and made lifelong memories. The race will wind its way through the town, passing Tanner’s childhood home and the schools he attended, offering participants a heartfelt journey through a few of the places that shaped his life.
Post-race celebrations will include light refreshments, music, and yard games.
Come run, walk, or cheer on participants as we honor SSG Tanner Grone — a true friend, brother, and hero. Let’s unite in his memory and continue the legacy he built of love, camaraderie, and service.
