Louisville H.E.R.O. Run/Walk/Ruck

The 5th Annual Louisville Honor Earned, Remembrance Owed (H.E.R.O.) Run/Walk/Ruck

This event honors those who died in battle and those we lost at home to the psychological wounds of war. Join us on Saturday, May 30, 2026, for a day of camaraderie and connection. Proceeds will benefit Volunteers of America Mid-States, as well as the University of Louisville's Salute to Service Scholarship Fund. Join us to support great Veteran-driven charities, learn more about local Veteran organizations, and take home a unique finisher's medal.
