Event Description

Whether it's walking a few laps, jogging a couple miles, or just hanging out in support of a great cause, join us in the Town of Quantico to generate awareness for Semper Fi and America's Fund as this organization cares for our nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families.

Purpose:

- Bring our community together.

Focus:

Teamwork instead of individual effort.

(Teams can be as small as they’d like or up to 48 people, one person every 30 minutes. If someone participates as an individual, they can walk or run whenever/however long they want. Overall, it’ll be more fun at 4:00 am with more people.)

Cost:

$25 for registered participants.

(Remaining balance after covering t-shirt fees will go directly to SF&AF. Anyone can walk, run, or cheer participants for free. However, to receive a t-shirt and be eligible for prizes, awards, etc., individuals/teams must officially register. Everyone who registers will also receive a swag bag of goodies, promo items, etc. We will also have a free popsicle, toy, and book table for kids next to the SF&AF booth.)
