A Gathering to Remember Pete Ireland

You're Invited: A Gathering to Remember Pete Ireland
Wednesday, July 2, 2025 | 6:00–8:00 PMFirst United Methodist Church200 N Market St, Benton, AR 72015
On June 16, 2025, we lost a quiet giant of the Arkansas running community — Pete Ireland. Pete coached many, led by example, and brought a steady, humble presence wherever he went. He raced all over the country, but Sunset Lake in Benton was his home base — a place he walked, trained, and built lasting connections.
Please join us for an evening of remembrance to celebrate Pete’s life and legacy. We’ll gather to share stories, photos, and memories of the man who quietly shaped and strengthened our community.
This event is free to attend.
Donations are welcome and appreciated to help cover the cost of the gathering and to fund a memorial bench at Sunset Lake in Pete’s honor. Our goal is to unveil the bench during the Sunset 6/12/24 Hour Race on November 28, 2025.👉 You can donate by clicking the Donate tab at the top of this page.
