Dr. Ford Hess founded the Trinidad to Clam Beach Run in 1965. Nearly 200 people have signed a petition to change the name of the race to honor his legacy and his memory: Ford Hess Memorial Trinidad to Clam Beach Run. Please sign on to help convince the Trinidad Chamber of Commerce to make this change. Honoring his legacy as the race's founder is a fitting tribute.
The momentum generated by your support has created the necessary leverage to approach the Trinidad Chamber of Commerce formally. I am currently drafting a letter to the board requesting a meeting to discuss the name change proposal.

Such a great local tradition. Seems like a small thing to ask to rename it after him.

Dr Hess started this whole thing. It is only right to put his name on it after all these years.

Long overdue. He was a pillar of the community and this run is his legacy.

He deserves the recognition. Without him there is no race.
