From the Organizer
This Memorial Day, we run with purpose. Each step is taken in honor of a hero who gave everything in service to our nation. Every runner will wear the name of a fallen soldier on their back, carrying their memory through each mile. This 5K is a time to reflect, to remember, and to ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten. We run not for time or medals, but for those who can no longer run beside us. Join us as we honor the fallen and keep their legacy alive.
