Participants have three race distances to choose from: 5K, 8K, or Half Marathon! The Half Marathon course is gorgeous, fast, and flat with only 96’ of elevation gain. The 8k course offers a little more variety with rolling hills in gorgeous Elizabeth Park at the start. You’ll also enjoy the Trenton Summer Festival atmosphere in downtown Trenton!
The 5k is a great race for a fast time (the course record is 15:24.07) or to get out and enjoy a fun run or walk with friends.

We are hoping we can educate others in the community about what the Afghanistan War was about and keep the history and memory of our Fallen Soldiers that made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan alive as we say their names and walk (or run) in memory of them.
The Taylor Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 4422 and Running To Honor organizations will receive the proceeds raised from this event.

This is a fundraiser hosted by St. John’s Lutheran School. We are a “faith-based” school. This means that Jesus is at the center of everything that is taught. Not only do we learn about Jesus during daily religion time, but He is at the core of our curriculum and discipline. Our school mission statement is: “St. John’s Lutheran School supports families in the development of solid Christian character and skills for life-long excellence.” It is our hope and prayer that every child who walks through our doors will someday walk through God’s heavenly door. All proceeds from the race will directly benefit St. John’s Lutheran School.
Happy Spring to our past runners and walkers and to our new runners, walkers, and bike riders.
