TREK XXV is a family-friendly, non-competitive event and is open to all age groups. Participants are allowed to walk, run, or cycle the route. The route will start at the Ben Hawes Park shelter area located at 400 Booth Field Road. From there participants will travel on the roadways behind Ben Hawes Park, including Medley, South Griffith St., Willet, and Lower River Road; returning back to Ben Hawes State Park shelter area. There participants will gather for lunch and camaraderie at the end of the event. For over 20 years, David Yewell and his family and friends have held this charity event. Monies raised from this charity event support the St. Joseph Peace Mission for Children. The funding is used to provide a safe home for more than 250 at-risk youth and families served by the Mission.
