5th Annual Brett J Morris Avenger Foundation Defenders of Mental Health 5K

Step into the heart of courage and community at the 3rd Annual Brett J Morris Avenger Foundation 5K Run/Walk/Ruck, an event that's all about honoring heroes and battling the stigma of mental health head-on. In remembrance of Brett J. Morris, a valiant Army Veteran and Night Stalker, this race tackles the invisible war of PTSD, depression, and suicide that claims the lives of our soldiers daily. Choose your challenge: run, walk, or heft the weight upon your shoulders with the Ruck option—to symbolically bear the load of the 44 soldiers lost each day.

Lining up on June 22nd, 2024, at the stunning JF Gregory Park, every participant receives a special commemorative coin, with top finishers and ruckers earning prizes and awards. But hurry—the last call for a guaranteed event t-shirt is June 10th! Your energy and participation fuel scholarships, family aid, and the crucial fight against mental illness. Join us to celebrate life, foster hope, and share in the strength of community! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💪
