Edinburg, TX - Do you know someone who has made a lasting impact in Edinburg? The City of Edinburg is asking its residents to nominate an individual of “extraordinary public service or exemplary contribution” ahead of the ‘Hometown of Heroes’ Half-Marathon, set for March 3, 2024.

The public is invited to nominate an Edinburg resident who has gone above and beyond for the community. Someone who, even when no one is watching, serves tirelessly, shows kindness, and has a servant’s heart, big or small, that always puts their neighbors before themselves. It could be a teacher, first responder, military hero, athlete, or former city leader. Anyone can be nominated as long as they meet the criteria. Thirteen community members will be selected to represent one mile of the half marathon at their respective mile markers.

The nomination form can be downloaded on the City of Edinburg website at https://cityofedinburg.com/events_detail_T53_R947.php. The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2024. Nominations must be submitted to commandmedia@cityofedinburg.com.
