― Every Step Advances the Mission
Race For A Soldier
Every year, Race For A Soldier brings the community together to unite behind the mission and raise awareness towards the decline in mental health amongst those who serve.
Together, we celebrate walking & running as a catalyst for healing. Movement is medicine. This event provides a tangible way for community to show up and make a meaningful impact for our service members, veterans, first-responders, and their families.

― Beyond Race Day
The Finish Line Is Only Part of the Story
Race For A Soldier brings people together for one day, but the impact reaches far beyond the course.
Participation, sponsorships, donations, and volunteer support help strengthen the programs and community surrounding veterans, service members, first responders, and their families.
It is one more way we create connection, raise awareness, and make sure opportunities for growth are there when someone is ready to take the next step.
― Stronger than ever
