This run was created in honor of Dave Curley, a loving husband, devoted father, and dedicated friend.

Dave was a long time member of the YMCA and was enthusiastic about community involvement and physical fitness. With his bright blue eyes and his friendly smile he was always looking for life’s next adventure. He truly had an unwavering zest for life.

Dave’s favorite pastime was running - especially with his family and friends. He encouraged everyone to be active, to give their best effort, and, most importantly, to have fun!
