The Bill Gregory Health Care Classic (BGHCC) is more than just a race, it is a symbol of our community’s commitment to promoting healthy lifestyle changes. Since its inception in 1981 by Hamilton Medical Center, this event has become a cornerstone of our community and one of the most highly anticipated gatherings. Today, the annual event honors Dr. Bill Gregory, who tragically lost his life in a bicycling accident in June 2006. Dr. Gregory was passionate about caring for his patients and promoting wellness and healthy lifestyles. Over the years, the Bill Gregory Health Care Classic has evolved into a beloved tradition, continuing the important work Hamilton Medical Center and Dr. Gregory began so many years ago. Today, this annual event remains a symbol of our shared commitment to fostering healthy lifestyle and environment changes through collaboration and positive action.

LIFESTYLE & ENVIRONMENT (2025 THEME)
Each year, Live4It Community introduces a new health and wellness theme, launching it at the Bill Gregory Health Care Classic. In 2025, our focus is on Lifestyle & Environment (mind, body, spirit, and surroundings). This year's "70/30" theme highlights research on longevity: over 70% of our lifespan is influenced by lifestyle and environment, while less than 30% is attributed to genetics. This message brings hope: we can impact our lifespan!
We also anticipate significant student engagement and are excited to launch the Live4It Kids website, encouraging kids to discover their inner SUPERPOWER. Therefore, this year's BGHCC will have a superhero flair. We encourage those participating to decorate their tents to reflect Lifestyle & Environment and our Superhero theme!
Together, we believe in the power of “one goal and one message” to help our community live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Each of us plays a vital role in our community’s journey to improve its health and wellness trajectory.

AWARDS
Awards will be given to top schools, employers, churches, medical practices, tent/food truck, individuals and more!
