Operation Half Pint 5k
About Half Pint
Half Pint is a half-scaled version of the M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank built in Lima, Ohio. This mini version goes all over the State of Ohio to local car shows, military shows, parades, etc. We also work closely with veterans in our community to offer our support. Half Pint is dedicated to all the hard-working men and women of Joint Systems Manufacturing Center that build the World’s Best Battle Tank and those who are defending our freedom. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization that is 100% volunteer based. All proceeds for the 5k will go towards the operation and maintenance of Half Pint and the future half-scaled Stryker.
Description
We invite you to join us in Half Pint’s third annual 5k! All participants will receive chipped timing and have the opportunity to get a race day photo with an Abrams tank. Come join the fun!
