Event overview
The Run for the Wounded takes place on May 3, 2026, at Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, VA. The event offers the following distances:
- 5k
- 10k
- Half-marathon
Points from this race count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k, Endurance, Back of the Pack, and Spring series. A virtual race option is available. Runners receive a finisher’s coin, a technical (Dri-fit) event shirt, and chip timing. The race benefits Leashes of Valor, a nonprofit that provides service dogs at no cost to wounded and disabled veterans.
Course, fees and logistics
The courses combine paved roads and trails. The 5k is a trail-only course, the 10k is about 50% trail and 50% pavement, and the half-marathon is mostly pavement (about 60%) with some hills. The half-marathon has a 3:15 completion time limit. Water stations are placed along each course: eight stations on the half, three on the 10k, and one on the 5k, with Gatorade available at some stations. Packet pickup is available at the event; there is no on-site registration on race morning. Registration fees vary by distance and increase after April 15, with an additional $5 increase on race morning. T-shirts are guaranteed to runners registered before April 22. Live results will be posted during the event and final results with series points posted after the race. Parking is at the Williams Ballfield in Prince William Forest Park (coordinates 38.559346, -77.348438). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
