Organiser's description

JOIN THE 5K FOR PTSD AWARENESS DAY RUN WITH PURPOSE, WALK WITH HEART

Every mile you move is a message: You are not alone. We see you. We honor you.

On PTSD Awareness Day, we gather for more than just a 5K we gather to stand shoulder to shoulder with the heroes who have carried the weight of trauma, often in silence. This event supports HEALING HOMETOWN HEROES' PEER-TO-PEER MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM, directly funding resources and safe spaces for first responders and veterans to heal, together.

Whether youre running in honor of a first responder who pulled you from wreckage, saved your loved one during a medical crisis, or a veteran who served with courage and sacrifice your participation becomes an act of gratitude, healing, and solidarity.

Let this be more than a race. Let it be a demonstration of how selfless we can be in giving back to those whove given so much. Let it be a living tribute to resilience, to service, to community.

COME RUN. COME WALK. COME REMEMBER. COME HONOR.
