About the event
As Americans we are free! We can get up in the morning, go to work at the job we choose, go to the stores we like, or simply step out the door and go for a run/walk. We have these freedoms thanks to the women and men that make up our military. So many selfless americans have given the ultimate sacrifice so we can wake up each day and simply do as we wish. This Veterans Day, I wanted to personally execute my freedom of entrepreneurship and philanthropy the best way i know how, but hosting a race to honor those who served.
In 2017, we had over 90 registrations and over 85 finishers brave the cold and make this event one to remember!!
Proceeds from this race will be donated to help our veterans in need. Actual Charity TBD
