About this run
The conflicts that America has faced, in fighting for our freedom, have often seemed insurmountable. If you look at the terrain and landscapes where our military has fought, it would make your heart sink in fear. But, our military has always stood strong and valiant in the face of such fears. They have shown the world what the meaning of brave truly is. It is with this in mind, that we have created an obstacle course with a diverse set of “landscapes”, that represents just a handful of the types of topographies that our military have fought over and through. This is a way of honoring their dedication and sacrifice.
