The Race for a Soldier Half Marathon & 5k is held in Gig Harbor, WA. There is a 12K 5K, and virtual run option.
The course’s gentle inclines and well-maintained paths make it accessible to runners and walkers of all levels, and the course offers views of Puget Sound and the city.
Before the race there is a community dinner with a motivational speaker. Post-race, there is a celebration, featuring local bands, food, and activities that emphasize community and support for the armed forces. This event benefits the Permission To Start Dreaming Foundation, raising funds and awareness for veterans and their families, focusing on those affected by PTSD and other service-related traumas.
