Captain Seth Mitchell HERO 5K is Saturday, Sept. 22

by David Miller,

Loveland, Ohio – On Saturday, September 22 The Captain Seth Mitchell HERO 5K will be held in Nisbet Park in Historic Downtown Loveland – for the ninth straight year. The race is organized each year by Mitchell’s former classmates who miss their friend and want to keep his memory alive. They represent the many people who Seth made an impression on with his sense of humor, kind heart, and loyal friendship. The race raises scholarship money for graduating seniors at Loveland High School.

Mitchell was class president his senior year at Loveland High School in 1997. He died in 2009 in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan on a mission he volunteered for.

In the first LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV video, you will see clips from last year’s event

The second video is Seth’s father Steven Mitchell thanking the participants, sponsors, and the organizing committee and announcing that last year was a record for the amount of money raised at the race, more than $10,000. Mitchell told the young people in the crowd to learn about and remember the life his son led, “You will make a difference in somebody’s life someday.”
