Hope For The Warriors® is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty. Hope For The Warriors® is dedicated to restoring a sense of self, restoring the family unit, and restoring hope for our service members and our military families.
Heroes for Heroes is a fundraiser the Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department and the Reynoldsburg Division of Police created to benefit Hope for the Warriors®. The Reynoldsburg Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting the 5K Obstacle Course where 1 to 2 person teams or individuals will compete together running an obstacle course including walls, low crawls, traversing through water, mud pits, Israeli sked pull, and tire flips among others. Public Safety, Military personnel as well as citizens from all over Ohio are invited to compete in this challenge.
Alongside the obstacle course 5K, Heroes for Heroes is now also offering a traditional 5K paved course. This is a paved path through Civic Park that you can run or walk. There no obstacles on this course. Strollers are welcome as well!
