2024 Veterans Day 5K Mitch Park
What better way to express gratitude to ALL that have served with sacrifice and duty than lacing up your sneakers to walk and run Mitch Park? We also honor Zach Brown’s life and legacy as well as the many others we’ve lost to suicide. Completing the course on the Saturday before Veterans Day shows our active-duty military, veterans, etc. and their families that we support them and whatever silent struggles they may be enduring. This year’s proceeds will benefit The Hugs Project OKC a 501c3 (EIN 35-2249092) who weekly ships a hug (or care package) to American servicemen and women in highly combative areas, such as Bulgaria, Iraq, Poland, and Honduras.
2023 Event Recap
We couldn’t have done this without: Snow Smore, Wicked Hangry, Speech Pathway, Threshold Gym, NAMI Oklahoma, UCO WinterGlow, The Big Friendly Beer Bus, Okie Artistry, Diamond Inflatables.
It still gives us goosebumps reflecting on our inaugural event and raising $10,500 for Mission 22 and seeing 105 registrants. The biggest wins of the day didn’t make it to a profit/loss report but in the conversations and company shared that afternoon. We are humbly grateful for the excitement shown in 2023. We couldn’t have done this without The City of Edmond, Red Coyote Running, hospitable vendors, and leading sponsor The VA Home Team OKC. We appreciate you joining us in this crisis and look forward to seeing you in 2024!”
