Wounded Warrior Project 5k

Tower, this is Ghost Rider, requesting a fly by….We want YOU to grab your Wing Mates, Battle Buddies, Shipmates or Guardians and join our squad! 

We are participating in the Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) Carry Forward® 5Klick (5k)to provide life-changing programs for America's wounded warriors, at no cost to them. 

If you feel the need, the need for speed, or feel like taking the highway to the Danger Zone, then talk to me, Goose! Don’t worry, if you’ve lost that love and feeling for intense cardio, then you can still join us for a leisurely stroll and let the mountain view take your breath away. We don’t care how you cross that finish line, but we are missile-locked on fundraising to provide warriors free services in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care, so that warriors can thrive in their next mission, whatever it may be.

Let’s start writing some checks that our bodies CAN cash! Help us put the WWP mission - to honor and empower wounded warriors - in motion by joining our event or supporting WWP with a 100% tax-deductible donation today!  

So, whether you are Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine, Space Force,Family or Supporter come join us sporting your favorite branch garb!
