Becker Strong 3rd Annual Memorial 5k

🏃‍♂️ Run for a Cause, Run for Mr. B 🏃‍♀️

Join us on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Brian Piccolo Park for the Second Annual Becker Strong 5K & 1-Mile Run/Walk—a celebration of the life, passion, and legacy of Principal Robert Becker.

For over two decades as principal of Embassy Creek Elementary, Mr. B inspired thousands of students, staff, and community members not only through his leadership but through his infectious love for running and healthy living. An avid runner to his core, Principal Becker could be found lacing up his shoes and hitting the pavement—even during his battle with cancer—always encouraging others to stay active, challenge themselves, and live life to the fullest.

This special event honors his unwavering spirit and raises critical funds for sarcoma cancer research, helping others fight the same disease he bravely faced. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or simply someone whose life was touched by Mr. B’s kindness, your participation keeps his mission alive—motivating the next generation to live active, healthy, and community-minded lives.
