From the Organizer
The 2026 CTF Monarch Marathon is a 5K Run/Walk to benefit the Courtney TyLynn Foundation. This event will begin at 8:00am from the Dodge City Church of the Nazarene (DCCN), along the mapped route and is officially timed by Flex Fitness Timing. All proceeds from this event go directly to the Courtney TyLynn Foundation.
In conjunction with the 5K there will be the DC Dodger 1 Mile Buddy Walk to benefit the DC Dodgers Special Olympics Team. This portion of the event will begin at the conclusion of the 5K (at approximately 9:15am from DCCN to Dodge City High School (DCHS). All proceeds from this portion of the event go directly to the DC Dodgers.
The Courtney TyLynn Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded in July 2020 after the untimely passing of our 17 year old daughter, sister, aunt, niece and friend Miss Courtney TyLynn Panzner on June 14, 2020. This foundation raises money to provide educational scholarships for students going into the medical and/or educational field, an organizational scholarship for the DC Dodgers with whom Courtney was an athlete, as well as medical scholarships for those 18 years of age and younger. (All scholarship applications are presented to the CTF board for board approval.) It was always Courtney's dream to "Help her Special People" and in her memory that is what we strive to accomplish.
We would love for you to join us in preserving Miss Courtney's legacy by participating in the CTF Monarch Marathon 5K Run/Walk and by "adopting" a Dodger for the DC Dodger 1 Mile Buddy Walk.
