It is the 5th annual race in memory of the CB East grad who was killed in Iraq in 2007.
At 9 a.m. on Saturday, runners and walkers will gather at Central Park, with one one purpose: to keep alive the memory of a son of Doylestown taken too soon.
The 5th Annual Colby Umbrell Memorial Walk and 5K starts at Central Park, 425 Wells Road, Doylestown.
