🤝 Support Our Veterans

Please donate to help our veteran community. Everyone -- whether you register for the event or not -- can donate to our veteran causes. Donors can honor a veteran: with a flag (4 in by 6 in) with a donation of $10 or more: or with a large sign (2 ft by 1.5 ft) with a donation of $30 or more. For the flag or sign, you will be able to make your donation “in honor of”, or “in memory of”, the name of a veteran. That veteran's name will then be put on the flag or sign. The flags will be placed together prominently at the event: the signs will be displayed, individually and prominently, along the course. Participants at the event can pick up their flags there. To make any donation (in any amount, for a flag, sign, or otherwise) to support our veterans, please click on the DONATE icon at the top of this page.

📜 How to Participate

For the event in Hampton Park, we will mark off a distance of 5k (going around the park 3 times) but participants can run or walk a shorter or longer distance, if they choose. There will be no awards or timed results, but we plan to have a time clock at the finish line so participants can note their finish times. Hampton Park is closed to traffic during the event.

Virtual participants can run or walk a 5k distance (or shorter, or longer) distance at a time and place of their choosing, and will not need to submit any information about when they walked or ran the 5k, or how long it took them. They can, of course, post their results on whatever social media they would like. It may take a month, or more, for the virtual participants to receive their shirts, depending on the number of people who register for the virtual option. The virtual option allows you to show your support of our veterans, and get a shirt and medal commemorating your participation, without traveling to Charleston's Hampton Park that morning.
