We are a Corps of Military and First Responder Veterans performing "Hands On" community service with a mission deployment attitude!
The US Veterans Corps was an idea that was based on the experiences that Ft. Bragg and Camp Lejeune Veterans had while volunteering for ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Operation: Coming Home that built and donated a brand new Hero Home for a disabled combat veteran. When the keys were delivered and the event ended there was a strong urge from these Veterans to continue the mission and therefore created the US Veterans Corps.
All races will have a mass start at 9:00 AM for the 5K / 10K / 15K and the course closes for all races at 10:30 AM. Please consider your race pace when deciding which event to run. For any participants who feel they may need some extra time, please contact us at info@fitandable.net.
If you are interested in sponsoring the Stars, Stripes, & Strides please email Info@FitandAble.net for more information!
We can't wait to see you at Stars, Stripes, & Strides!
