Come run with us on Oct 17th for our fifth annual First Responders 5K!! This annual 3.1 mile run was started in Fall of 2022 to honor the first responders that risk their lives every day to help others. Every year, thousands of U.S. first responders-including firefighters, law enforcement officers, and EMS providers, lose their lives while protecting others. We do this run to bring attention to their sacrifice.
There will be a $1 raffle for charity and FREE t-shirts (while supplies last)!!
We also will be collecting donations to a charity soon to be announced, in aims of serving those who serve us. This event is hosted by Arnold Air Society and Silver Wings at Mississippi State University.
