Run Up For Heroes 5K

Join us for the exhilarating Run Up for Heroes 5K on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at the USS Orleck!
Honoring the US Navy 250th Anniversary!

This uplifting event is more than just a race; it’s a mission to support our veterans in need. Organized by Helping Hands for Heroes, this run aims to combat veteran homelessness by providing essential services like transitional housing, mental health support, and job training. Every step you take helps create a brighter future for those who have served our country.

Whether you’re an experienced runner or a casual participant, your involvement makes a difference. By registering for the 5K, you contribute to the initiative to build 82 fully supported transitional housing units for homeless and at-risk veterans in Northeast Florida. Together, we can show our veterans they are not forgotten and help them regain their purpose. Lace up your shoes and prepare to make a positive impact while enjoying a day of community, camaraderie, and compassion. Let’s run up for heroes!
