Lace up your shoes and run for a cause with the RACE4WARRIORS VIRTUAL 5k, 10K, or Half Marathon, taking place throughout Military Appreciation Month from May 1 to May 25, 2026. This unique virtual event allows you to complete your chosen distance of a 5K, 5M, 10K, or 13.1M (Half Marathon) from any location you choose, making it accessible to runners and walkers nationwide while still contributing to a vital mission. While the in-person event takes place in Lewes, DE, the virtual format means you define your own course, terrain, and scenery, whether it's your neighborhood streets, a local park, or a treadmill.

This event proudly supports Wounded Warriors and Homeless Veterans, honoring those who have served in the Middle East. The Race4Warriors organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, run by an all-volunteer board primarily composed of retired Chief Master Sergeant First Sergeants, ensuring that nearly all profits directly benefit veterans with minimal overhead. By participating, you join a nationwide effort to provide crucial support and raise awareness for our heroes. Typical conditions during this timeframe in the Lewes, DE area (reflecting the in-person event's location) see highs around 72°F and lows near 51°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation, offering pleasant weather for your self-directed run or walk.

Beyond the physical challenge, the RACE4WARRIORS VIRTUAL event provides a powerful opportunity for competition, education, and celebration, allowing participants to show their appreciation during a federally recognized month for military service. All participants who register and submit their times by Memorial Day (May 25, 2026) will be rewarded with a commemorative T-shirt and a historic race medallion, serving as a tangible reminder of your contribution to this noble cause.
