From the Organizer
THIS IS A FUNDRAISER RUN NOT A OFFICAL TIMED RACE.
June 27th is more than just race day — it’s PTSD Awareness Day, a day that holds deep meaning for us.
This year, we will jump the day before and run the day of in honor of all those who have fought the battle of PTSD — for those still fighting and for those who have won the battle.
Every step is for awareness.
Every mile is for hope.
Every runner is running with purpose.
Lace up your shoes and run for something bigger than yourself.
Includes a custom Running for Valor shirt
