🎖️ Legacy of Courage Half Marathon

As Memorial Day approaches this May, join us in making a difference for our nation’s heroes by participating in the Legacy of Courage Half Marathon. All proceeds from this inspiring event will benefit The Outdoor Disabled Veterans Program (The ODV), through Knowledge Point Network. This is more than just a race—it’s an opportunity to honor and support disabled veterans by helping them reconnect with the healing power of nature in a community that understands their struggles.

Veterans Support: Veterans with physical injuries and those with invisible wounds of war come together through KPN to find healing, support, and camaraderie.
Adventure Programs: The ODV’s programs center around outdoor adventures and therapeutic activities, empowering veterans to overcome challenges and rediscover their independence.
All Involved: Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation will directly contribute to a cause that changes lives.
Giving Back: Together, we can give back to those who’ve given so much for our freedom.
