SSgt Rogers Unsung Hero 5K Run/Ruck is a running race on November 7, 2026 in Lackland A F B, TX, with an entry fee of $30.
Join us on November 7, 2026, as we honor the life and sacrifice of SSgt Cierra Monet Rogers, an Airman who courageously gave her life while saving a family from a burning building in Korea. This 5K is a celebration of her courage, service, and selflessness, while also giving each participant the opportunity to recognize an “Unsung Hero” of their own.
Participants are welcome to run, ruck, or walk the 5K at their own pace. During registration, participants may also choose to submit the name and story of an Unsung Hero they would like Rogers ALS to recognize as part of the event.
Come run. Walk. Remember. Honor.
