On May 4, 2010, the Harvard Fire Department and entire Harvard community lost a great man when Ken Harrod unexpectedly passed away.

A lifelong resident of Harvard and a 45-year member of the Harvard Fire Department, Ken was always helping others out in any way that he could. He was a great mentor to all in the department, and loved by all for his patience, skill, charity and kind manner.

There are 3 different courses to choose from: 32 mile, 16 mile and 2 mile. There will be food provided by the Harvard Lions. T-shirts and gift bags will be provided to the first 300 registered riders.

Funds generated from this event will support a number of different causes, including:
The Harvard Firefighters’ Benevolence Fund
The Harvard Firefighters’ Scholarship Fund
The Harvard Firefighters’ Equipment Fund
The Student Awareness of Fire Education (SAFE) Program
The Harvard Firefighters’ Family Crisis Fund
