From the Organizer
Join us for the QRF (Quick Reaction Force) 5K Run/Walk – Miles for Mental Health, a mission-driven event focused on raising awareness and funding for veteran mental health support. This event is more than a race—it’s a stand against the silent battles many of our nation’s heroes face every day.
At QRF, we believe that no veteran should fight alone. Through this event, we aim to break the stigma around mental health, provide life-changing resources, and build a stronger support system for those who have served.
