About the event

"5K for HEROES" is a 5K Run/Walk/Obstacle race with 100% of the proceeds going to Camp Hometown Heroes, an organization that supports the children of fallen service members.

This "Obstacle" race will feature service members from each branch of the armed forces from the Phoenix area as the actual "obstacles"!!  As you run the 5k course you will be challenged to complete various training regimes designed by the ARMY, AIR FORCE, MARINES, NAVY and possibly the COAST GAURD!!!

You may also run or walk the 5k without obstacles.

This is a kid and dog friendly event so please bring the whole household out to join in the fun!

Working with Camp Hometown Heroes, it is our desire to bring HONOR and EMPOWERMENT to the children and families of fallen service members across the nation. Camp Hometown Heroes provides week-long summer camp sessions and other healing programs for children ages 7-17. Since 9/11 over 5,000 children have lost a parent who served in the military. Our goal is to support as many of these children as possible.  THANK YOU for your support and contributing in this way!
