AdventHealth Silver Classic

The 39th Annual AdventHealth Silver Classic is a popular running and walking event held in Killeen, Texas, featuring a 5K run and a 3K walk. Established in the 1980s, this event has become a significant community gathering, originally organized by Seventh-day Adventist pastor Ernest Dobkins.
