    At the Y, we know that real, lasting change happens when we come together to invest in our children, our health, and our communities. As a leading nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of donors and events like this race to ensure that everyone—regardless of their circumstances—has access to life-changing programs and services. By lacing up for the Y’s Independence Day 5K, you’re doing more than running a race—you’re giving working parents access to reliable, high-quality childcare, equipping kids with life-saving water safety skills, and providing teens with positive mentors and a safe space to grow. Every step you take makes a difference.

    In 1999, The Allen Stone Braveheart Memorial Races started as the Braveheart Run Swim Run, to benefit the American Heart Association. Allen Stone, a local Navy SEAL, and friend of the race committee, raced and won his age group. Tragically, Allen died in a SEAL training accident just a few months later. The race committee decided to rename the race in Allen's memory. Since then, the race has added a 5K and a kids 1 mile race to have something for everyone in the family.

    This event has raised over $1 million for our charities, the Navy SEAL Foundation, Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squad, and the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Association while honoring those that have made the ultimate sacrifice and their families.

    The Hope and Healing 5K Run/Walk is a community race dedicated to promoting health while supporting medical outreach programs in underserved communities in Africa. Proceeds from the event help provide medical camps and health programs for people who lack access to proper medical care.

    This event supports a mission to reach less privileged members of society by expanding access to healthcare services and preventive medical support. The goal is to help build healthier communities where individuals are medically fit and able to care for themselves and provide for their families.

    By participating in the Hope and Healing 5K Run/Walk, runners and walkers take meaningful steps toward bringing hope, healing, and improved health access to those in need.
