The course starts at the soccer field and winds through the town, passing Tanner’s childhood home and the schools he attended. The race is intended to be held each year in July, marking the month Tanner enlisted in the Army on July 11, 2017.
Post-race activities include light refreshments, music, and a Figure-Eight Challenge that references Tanner’s competitive spirit in soccer. Organizers plan to use proceeds to support a Gorham High School senior who shares values important to Tanner. The event is organized by Tanner’s sister and one of his close friends.
