Meet The Returning Rider # 1151 Ron Krumenacker



My name is Ron Krumenacker…Rider 1151, I currently ride a 2024 RG. I have been riding for a
long time. I was born and raised in a small town in Pennsylvania. I enlisted into the United
States Marine Corps in 1995…Traveled the world and retired in 2016. Since then I have moved
back to the great state of Pennsylvania and am happily married to the love of my life, Heidi, of
12 years. I have 2 daughters and 2 grandsons. I currently work as a greeter for a local school
district.

 


I have decided to ride the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge for one simple reason…It is
addicting! I rode in the 2024 Hoka Hey and was ready to run it again. Such an amazing rush!!
Also because of family-like riders that you meet. Everyone is suffering for the same reason
unless your bike breaks down. You all become exhausted, lonely for periods of time, definitely
lost for a time or two. It’s all part of the experience..then there is just the pure open road with just
you and your bike…and unless it breaks down, it never argues back during the many
conversations you have with it…and of course..the bragging rights of not being mentally sane!

 





My non-profit is “MILES AGAINST DARKNESS” donations can be made here.
I created this non profit to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. During my
time serving in the Marine Corps I had the opportunity to serve as a recruiter. One of the young
men I enlisted was Jordan Ziniewicz. Jordan beat the odds at a very young age beating
cancer..later in life was accepted to Virginia Military Institute (VMI) but instead, chose to go
active duty. After serving his time honorably, he fell to his demons and took his own life…..thus
was born…”MILES AGAINST DARKNESS”. This ride will be in honor of my fallen Brother and
for all those who are still fighting the good fight. Semper Fi.
