COEUR d'ALENE — About 50 people walked and ran in "The race for the rest of us" on a sunny Saturday morning at McEuen Park.
The Dwight Bershaw Memorial .5K was put on by the Sunrise Rotary Club of Coeur d'Alene. It was billed as "500 meters of grueling terrain over a pancake-flat paved trail. You can do it!"
The $25 registration included a race medal. Doughnuts were available at the halfway point of the course, which totals 546.8 yards or 1,640 feet or 19,685 inches.
Proceeds will go to charitable causes supported by the Sunrise Rotary Club of Coeur d'Alene.
The event honors the memory of Dwight Bershaw, who died Aug. 20, 2021, at the age of 54. A Rotarian, he was known for his love of Coeur d’Alene, hiking Tubbs Hill and picking up trash, and giving his time and talents to beautify the city.
A Dwight Bershaw memorial bench created by the Rotary Club is at the base of Tubbs Hill.
