Bellefonte, Pennsylvania
by Kim Gasper, Race Director
Under blue skies and a bright sun, 300 participants in the first annual Herbie's Hometown Loop paid tribute to Jeremy Herbstritt, a Bellefonte native and Penn State graduate who lost his life in the Virginia Tech shootings on April 16, 2007. The 4 mile run/walk which kicked off with a dove release and bell start by local race celebrity, George Etzweiler at 8:30 a.m. toured a course that Jeremy trained on frequently. It covered the perimeter of Victorian Bellefonte and included a steep climb up South Spring Street. Afterward, runners/walkers enjoyed an array of food and drinks donated by businesses in and around the community. Many participants donned their bike helmet and headed off for the 16 mile (non-competitive) bike ride at 10:30 a.m. which looped Jacksonville/Lyonstown Road twice and included a short loop through Parkview Heights.
In addition to the run/walk and bike ride there were many family-friendly activities taking place at the Bellefonte Middle School, including a kids' bike event, bike safety checks, fire truck tours, Ike the Spike, Eat-n-Park cookie decorating, seed planting, kids' games and a DJ entertaining the crowd.
The Herbstritt family was instrumental in the planning and organization of the event evident by the attention to detail. The intent was to honor their son/brother for the fun-loving and caring person he was and carry on the legacy he never had the chance to fulfill.
Each participant received a packet of seeds to plant their own gardens, reminiscent of Jeremy's passion for gardening. One of Jeremy's favorite pastimes after a hard run was indulging in some Bonfatto's "fire in the hole" chicken wings which were available after the run/walk. Jeremy often helped out his students who needed a ride after class and had no form of transportation. His family handed out Sheetz gas cards as part of the random prize drawings. There were 32 trees donated and given away in honor of Jeremy and the 31 innocent souls who lost their lives that tragic day. All those who left the event took away a piece of Jeremy's life and were asked to continue his legacy and passion for life.
Bob Chandler, assistant track and cross country coach at Bellefonte High School, was the first male finisher in 23:04, and Amy Prokop of Huntingdon was the first female in 27:52. A special award, the Jeremy Herbstritt Memorial Award, was given in the 20-29 age group. Scott Stringer, a former Bellefonte cross-country and track standout was the recipient finishing 4th overall in 25:24.
