WHAT OUR RACERS ARE SAYING
WHAT OUR RACERS ARE SAYING
"I served in the U.S. Army for 5 years, 1984-1989, and I have always had a strong connection to the military (grandfather, father, brother, nephew, and in-laws). After I left the service, my bond to the military remained. I have always helped veterans in any way I can. We all gave so much in order to guarantee freedom for all.
Running this race is a great way to remind everybody that there are veterans out there that need help and support. I run because I care about those who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Running 4 miles is the easy part -- the true race is every day watching out for veterans. The atmosphere of the race is outstanding. There is so much town support along the 4-mile course and there is nothing better than running under the giant American Flag that is waving off the fire truck hook and ladder.
Running this road race is the best way to thank all that served in the military."
Jim Walker, Army Veteran, multi-year race participant

This was the best organized, managed race I have run in a long time. The course, while not what i would consider flat (my watch recorded 17 flights of stairs climbed), was a fast, fairly easy run. I can't explain why that is but it was scenic and there were people around every corner cheering you on. Put this on your calendar for next year now!
