The Elsey Mae Memorial Run is a 1-mile fun run and 5K held in loving memory of Elsey Mae Howland. At just 17 months old, Elsey touched the lives of so many and will never be forgotten. This event is an opportunity for our community to come together to honor her life, support her family, and surround them with love during an incredibly difficult time. The Howland’s chose to do a 5k run and 1 mile walk in memory of Elsey because when Sabrina was pregnant they would walk a mile every morning. Once Elsey was born they continued to walk the same mile. Eventually it turned into Sabrina, Everlee and Elsey walking a mile every morning before they would meet their best friends Kimmy & Franky and they would run a mile and a half. Every afternoon Brandon would take his turn and run with Elsey for 3 miles. Some days the whole family would run 3 miles together with Everlee and Elsey riding in style in the world’s crappiest stroller. Everlee and Elsey loved walks and Everlee loved riding her bike ah
