Running To Honor 5K

Saturday, Jul 27, 2024 at 7:30am

Heritage Park
12111 Pardee Road

The theme this year is the Iraq War. The Iraq War (also called the second Persian Gulf War) lasted from 2003 to 2011. We are hoping we can educate others in the community about what the Iraq War was about and keep the history and memory of our Fallen Soldiers that made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq alive as we say their names and walk (or run) in memory of them.

We recognize that families want to bring their kids to the Running To Honor 5K but the registration cost might be too much or their kids might not be able to walk (or run) 3.1 miles. As a result we have two events for kids 14 and under! We offer a special discounted price for the 5K walk (or run) and a .5K (that is Point 5K) which is roughly .31 miles. The hope is that this will encourage families to come out and support the cause.

If you can't walk (or run) just come out and enjoy the atmosphere and look at the names and picture of those Fallen Soldiers and Fallen Veterans that we have lost.
