The Gockle 5K Run was established in honor of Johnny Hohmans memory. Johnny had a unique way of making you feel special whether hed just say hello or talk about any subject youd bring up. His sense of humor was engaging and you would walk away feeling especially good about yourself.
Johnny genuinely loved people regardless of their stature or position. His passion was to see the youth of this generation look outside of themselves and bring life and love to those that are hurting and have no hope.
Persevering through years of kidney dialysis, Johnny never gave up and inspired his family, friends, and youth group to run for the prize of living an overcoming life. On February 28, 2007, Johnny unexpectedly went to be with the Lord, but his vision and passion for young people still inspires us to press forward and influence this generation in our city, our nation and throughout the nations of this world.
The Gockle 5K Run not only raises funds for youth missions, but serves as a catalyst for our young people to think outside of their needs and serve others in our community and beyond.
Everyone needs to run the GockleRun
