Jim Trowbridge Memorial 5K

Thank You, Basehor Community & Jim Trowbridge 5K Participants!

From all of us involved in organizing the first annual Jim Trowbridge Memorial 5K, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who made this event such a meaningful and memorable day.

On Saturday, September 27th, the Basehor-Linwood High School grounds were filled with laughter, cheers, and the unmistakable energy of community spirit. Whether you ran, walked, volunteered, sponsored, cheered from the sidelines, or joined us for the post-race celebrations—you were part of something truly special.

This event was born from a desire to honor the life and legacy of Jim Trowbridge—a devoted husband, father, grandpa, friend, beekeeper, craftsman, and community builder. Jim’s presence was deeply felt on race day through the stories shared, the smiles exchanged, and the joy that filled the air. He was a man who always showed up for the people he loved, and on this day, you showed up for him.

We also want to thank our vendors, local businesses, and volunteers who gave their time and energy to help things run smoothly—and kept us fed, hydrated, and smiling all morning long. A special shoutout goes to our sponsors and donors, whose generosity helped us lay the foundation for what we hope becomes a cherished annual tradition.

From the starting horn to the finish line high-fives, this day was more than a race—it was a celebration of life, community, and legacy. And we couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you for helping us make the first Jim Trowbridge 5K an event to remember.
We’ll see you next year—with more bees, more smiles, and more miles!

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Trowbridge Family & The Jim Trowbridge 5K Team
