Race for a Soldier

Race for a Soldier is a running event celebrating its 15th anniversary, taking place in Gig Harbor, WA. This event features a Half Marathon, a 5K Fun Run, and a Virtual Run, all aimed at raising awareness and support for veterans, first responders, and their families dealing with the effects of trauma. Founded by Leslie Mayne in honor of her son, the race has evolved into a significant movement promoting healing and community.

Participants can run in honor of loved ones or to achieve personal goals, with proceeds supporting life-changing programs through the Permission to Start Dreaming Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
