From the Organizer
The Heroes Not Forgotten 4-Miler is more than a race — it’s a community celebration honoring the service and sacrifice of our local Veterans while supporting Mission Warmth and its work with unhoused Veterans in our community. This year, we are thrilled to partner with Preservation Parks to host the race at the beautifully renovated Bicentennial Barn, creating an unforgettable setting for participants and spectators alike. As our nation celebrates America’s 250th birthday, we are committed to making this event bigger, more meaningful, and more memorable than ever before.
