Run to Remember #VitoStrong

Lace up for a truly meaningful experience at the 3rd Annual Run to Remember #VitoStrong, set for Saturday, June 6, 2026, in the welcoming community of Crivitz, WI. This inspiring event offers participants a choice of a 3.1-mile run or a 1-mile walk, making it accessible for all fitness levels. Starting and finishing at the scenic Crivitz Community Veterans Park – Shaffer Pavilion, the course is known for being fairly flat and traversing concrete roads and sidewalks, providing a comfortable and steady journey through the area. 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.

More than just a race, the Run to Remember #VitoStrong 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. This untimed event prioritizes remembrance and raising crucial awareness about PTSD and veteran suicide. All proceeds directly benefit H.O.O.A.H. WI, an organization committed to preventing veteran suicide through proactive wellness approaches.

Participants will find a supportive atmosphere with various organizations on-site offering valuable resources and information for veterans coping with PTSD. The event fosters a strong sense of community, allowing strollers and leashed pets on the course, and includes a post-event reception with impactful speakers, raffles, and resource tables. Join fellow runners and walkers in Crivitz to contribute to a vital cause and remember those who served.
