Run for the Troops is a fundraiser that was set up to raise money to build houses for severely injured soldiers. Hence the name 'Run for the Troops, both runners and walkers qualify for this event and we encourage you to participate and to help those who have helped you

Run for the Troops is hosted every year in the month of April and as of the year 2018, this has been it's the 8th year they have hosted Run for the Troops. Run for the Troops is a 5K or 5-kilometer run, which is about 3 miles long, and raises about 1 million dollars a year. The event hostess awareness to the needs of injured soldiers, something everyone may forget unless we remind them that there is a human sacrifice behind our freedom. Participants can sign up by getting a form from Ms. Consiglio and paying $27. You can choose to either run as an individual or as a team or for five more. If you didn’t get a chance to go this year, we hope to see you next year!
