    Join us for the 2nd Annual Miles for Marshall 5K, returning to Patriot’s Park for another unforgettable day of purpose and community.

    This meaningful 5K journey through scenic trails is about more than miles - it’s about standing shoulder to shoulder with children and families impacted by childhood cancer. Inspired by Marshall’s courageous journey, this event is a reminder that no family fights alone.

    Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, you are choosing to be a force with them - offering strength, support, and hope when it’s needed most. Together, we’ll fill Patriot’s Park with unity, love, and determination as we continue the mission to uplift young warriors and the families walking beside them every single day.
