Defender 5k And 2.2 Mile Ruck

Join us for the inspiring DEFENDER 5K and 2.2 Mile Ruck on Saturday, June 7th, 2025, in beautiful St. Petersburg, Pinellas! This event is a heartfelt tribute to our heroes and a commitment to raise awareness for military suicide prevention. Participants can choose between the competitive 5K run or the meaningful 2.2 Mile Ruck Walk, where we honor the lives of those we've lost, including the brave Marine, Anthony Muhlstadt. Come together as a community to carry the weight of our fallen heroes and celebrate their legacies. Following the event, enjoy a festive birthday celebration in Anthony's memory, featuring music, vendors, giveaways, and birthday cake.
