Celebrating Community and Generosity: Dork Brothers 5K Raises $3000 for Dolly Parton Imagination Library

Thank you to all who participated in the exhilarating Dork Brothers 5K 2024 Run/Walk! Held on a beautiful July 4th at 701 Woodward Avenue in Alpena, this event brought the community together along the scenic Thunder Bay River bike path. With the spirited presence of our own Joe Gentry and the iconic Dork Brothers Racing team, the event was a vibrant celebration of fitness, friendship, and philanthropy. This year, we are proud to have raised $3,000 for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, directly supporting early childhood literacy in our community. The legacy of the Dork Brothers, known for their humorous camaraderie and ‘Athletics Worst’ attire, continues to inspire and entertain, making this event a highlight of our community calendar. We are grateful for every runner, walker, and supporter who joined us, helping to make a significant impact on the lives of our youngest residents. Scroll down for the official race results and more highlights from the day!
