Virtual Fitness Group #VFGSTRONG Veteran Fitness • Mental Health • Accountability

Lace up for a cause with the Virtual Fitness Group #VFGSTRONG Veteran Fitness • Mental Health • Accountability 3.1M race on February 1, 2026. This unique virtual event, rooted in Fort Lauderdale, FL, empowers participants to complete a 3.1-mile (5K) distance on their own terms, at their chosen location, all while supporting veteran fitness, mental health, and accountability.

Embrace the flexibility of a virtual race, allowing you to run, walk, or jog your 5K distance wherever and whenever suits your schedule on race day. For those in the Fort Lauderdale area, typical race day conditions in early February offer pleasant highs around 76°F and comfortable lows near 62°F, with a minimal 9% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for an outdoor effort. While there isn't a fixed course or aid stations in a traditional sense, the spirit of community and shared purpose unites all participants in supporting a vital mission.

The #VFGSTRONG race is more than just a 5K; it's a powerful statement of solidarity, promoting physical activity and mental well-being for veterans. Join this event to challenge yourself, honor service members, and be part of a movement dedicated to accountability and support within the veteran community.
