Glory’s Garden Foundation is hosting the Glory 5K Walk/Run to rally Northeast Louisiana around families fighting through the NICU journey. In 2023 Glory Ann Strickland was born at 24 weeks and spent 308 days in the St. Francis and Childrens Hospital NICU. Her parents, family and friends understand no parent should face that lonely road alone.

This event is more than a race; it’s a public show of love that raises critical support for medical expenses, travel, meals, and at home living expenses for NICU families. Our goal is to reach 1000 registrations so we could help 200 families. When our community shows up together, we don’t just raise funds we raise hope, dignity, and relief in the moments families need it most.

Date: May 16th

Time: 8:00 AM

Packet Pick-up: May 15th, 10:00 AM-6:00 PM at Fleet Feet Monroe

Celebrating the 14th Annual Run for the Red, White & Blue 5K/1K!

The Run for the Red, White & Blue 5K/1K is held each Memorial Day weekend to support the Chennault Aviation & Military Museum. Sign up to honor our active service members and veterans, and to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

The course is flat, fast, and well surfaced. The race will begin and end at the Museum with participants passing thru the Flags of Freedom for the last quarter mile. Timing by McDuffie Timing of West Monroe.

All race proceeds benefit CAMM. Free tours of the Museum will take place during and after the 5K/1K events. You can also see the planes at the Museum's new Aviation Park & Pavilion.

Finally, you can sponsor one of the Flags of Freedom during the last quarter mile of the course. Just click on the Flags of Freedom Sponsorship event.

Thank you for your support. This is an essential fundraiser for the Museum and the active service members/veterans it serves.

Celebrate Global Running Day with us! We will be at Forsythe Park near the old swimming pool across from the playground.

Global Running Day celebrates what makes running so special–camaraderie and friendship, endorphins and accomplishment, and the chance to challenge your personal limits. Whether it’s your first 5K or your fiftieth, we invite you to join us to celebrate The Big Run as a part of Global Running Week. Our event is on Thursday, June 4th!
