Event Description

The 2nd Annual Veterans and First Responders 5k run/walk and Memorial Mile run/walk, presented by Title Sponsor Splendido at Rancho Vistoso, to help raise funds for the Southern Arizona Veterans and First Responders Living Memorial at Naranja Park.  The memorial will be a place where people can go and reflect; they can honor their forefathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts and uncles – whoever served. It will be an opportunity for education about veterans as well as first responders – they are equals in this memorial.

All participants who sign up by April 19, 2018, and complete the run/walk or the memorial mile will receive an event shirt. Everyone will receive a custom finisher's medal and a slice of pizza sponsored by Rosati's Pizza Sports Pub once you cross the finish line.
