About

Gear up for an exhilarating race that honors our nation's heroes, the valorous recipients of The Purple Heart. Sprint into action with a choice of a 5K, 10K, or Half-Marathon and snatch up your coveted ALL-AMERICAN FINISHER MEDAL. If you blaze through the course and rank in the top four of your age group, you'll score an ADDITIONAL MEDAL!
When you register, you're not only gearing up for glory, but you also snag an event-themed t-shirt and a Finisher Medal. Plus, if you're swift enough to conquer your age group, you're in the running for an Age Group Award. Be swift to sign up by 07/25 to lock in your t-shirt size and remember, awards await at the finish line; they won't chase you home!
