About the Run

The Gockle 5K “Run for the Prize” honors the memory of a young man whose passion was to see the youth of this generation grow outside of themselves and bring life and love to those who are hopeless and hurting. This run will raise funds to send today’s youth to the nations to carry on the vision that Johnny Hohman pursued in his love for people regardless of stature or position.  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.
