More Information about the RUN FOR OUR VETERANS:

Now, more than ever, our nation-€™s warriors deserve our thanks, and our help. Whether it-€™s your first run, you-€™re training for a marathon, or you just want to join with friends, co-workers or family and have some fun, you can do it AND make a difference in the lives of our military, veterans and their families when you join with a field of over 700 participants in support of our nation-€™s heroes!   A full  100% of the net proceeds from the run will benefit both the  Tennessee Fisher House and the  ASMBA STAR Foundation (a locally-based 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity that supports wounded warriors, veterans and their families).

This inaugural event will feature R.A.C.E. chip timing and management services for all runners, special recognition awards for both individual and team competitors, refreshments and a limited edition t-shirt!   Sponsors and local vendors will provide special sports coupons and snacks to all participants, all in support of our heroes, many of whom are battling the physical and mental disabilities that the ravages of war bring.
