Some races are about pace. This one is about people.

Every mile we run carries a purpose. This event is about more than a finish line. It is about raising awareness for veteran suicide prevention and standing in support of the men and women who have served our country.

We are coming together to support and bring awareness to veterans suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts, because behind every statistic is a story, a family, a life that matters. 22 veterans a day is 22 too many.
