Marines Helping Heroes 5k Challenge

2021 5k Challenge

This year's event is October 2, 2021 and will be bigger and better than ever. 

In addition to the IN-PERSON event, you can also RUN FROM HOME .

The virtual portion of the race will begin on Sept 11th... 22 days before the in-person event. The 22 days is a reminder of the epidemic of 22 suicides per day among our military and veteran communities. 

The Marines Helping Heroes 5k Challenge  is a fundraising event once again hosted by Arundel Mills.  As many COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, we are pleased to resume the in-person Challenge this year. And because the virtual event was so successful last year, we have decided to continue it as well. The Challenge was initially created by the Anne Arundel County Detachment of the  MARINE CORPS LEAGUE... and the goal remains the same. We support our military and veteran communities. Funds raised will benefit our local military, veterans, the Semper Fi & America's Fund and Treat NOW. These organizations work with individuals suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries, which have been linked to the epidemic of 22 military or veteran suicides per day.  We need your help now more than ever.
