Run to Remember

Lace up for a truly meaningful experience at the 3rd Annual Run to Remember #VitoStrong on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in the welcoming community of Crivitz, WI. This inspiring event, offering both a 5K run and a 1-mile walk, is a poignant memorial dedicated to honoring Vito E. Cinquepalmi, a Marine Corps veteran, and all service members who have tragically lost their battle with PTSD through suicide. Participants will embark on a fairly flat course along concrete roads and sidewalks, starting and finishing at the scenic Crivitz Community Veterans Park – Shaffer Pavilion.

More than just a race, Run to Remember #VitoStrong prioritizes remembrance and raising crucial awareness about PTSD and veteran suicide. This untimed event fosters a supportive atmosphere, welcoming all fitness levels, strollers, and even leashed pets. All proceeds directly benefit H.O.O.A.H. WI, an organization committed to preventing veteran suicide through proactive wellness approaches. Typical race day conditions in early June boast pleasant highs around 73F and lows near 51F, with only a 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The event extends beyond the course with a post-event reception, featuring impactful speakers, raffles, and dedicated resource tables where various organizations will share valuable information for veterans coping with PTSD. Join fellow runners and walkers in Crivitz to contribute to a vital cause and remember those who served.
