Because of the Brave 5K
The Because of the Brave 5K is a non-competitive event held at American Village in Montevallo, Alabama, honoring the sacrifice of U.S. military heroes. Participants run or walk a 5K course consisting of two laps around a 1.55-mile paved loop marked with American flags, suitable for strollers and wheelchairs.
Each participant carries a 2’x3’ American flag on a pole throughout the course as a tribute. The event emphasizes reflection over racing, with no timing or awards. Proceeds support the American Village and the Alabama National Cemetery.
The event coincides with Memorial Day celebrations, including a service at the nearby cemetery. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
Always double-check with the organizer's website – things can change, and we might have sprinted past a few details!
