Memorial Day Run & March: To Help Feed Homeless Veterans

Join us for the Memorial Day Run & March on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at America the Beautiful Park in Colorado Springs, El Paso! This unique event is a blend of fitness, camaraderie, and charity, serving as the largest food donation drive in Colorado to support homeless veterans. Participants can select from various challenges, including a 5K or 10K Run/Ruck, or a 30K Ruck March, with each individual encouraged to carry 25 pounds of nonperishable food in their backpacks. Whether you're a civilian, veteran, or military member, this day promises friendly competition and community unity. Every participant will receive a race t-shirt (for the first 100 entrants), a finisher medal, and a timing bib, with all proceeds benefiting the Special Forces Foundation. Don't miss this chance to make a difference in the lives of local homeless veterans while enjoying a fulfilling day outdoors. Spread the word, rally your loved ones, and be a part of this impactful event!
