From the organizers
They didn't leave anyone behind. Neither do we.
Join us Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Bluffdale City Park to run — or walk — in honor of the men and women who served. Every entry fee and every dollar raised goes directly to the Wounded Warrior Project, supporting veterans facing the toughest fights of their lives long after they've come home.
The morning opens with the national anthem, a moment of recognition at the park's veterans memorial, and words from a Wounded Warrior Project veteran. Then it's a 5K and Kids Dash for the whole family, with a finish-line celebration to send everyone off with the same message we started with: no one gets left behind.
