Celebrating the Legacy of 2025

Last year’s 27th annual run was an overwhelming success, powered by incredible community support, enthusiastic volunteers, and vibrant race-day spirit. Thanks to everyone who participated, we were able to honor late 2nd Lt. Wroblewski with an incredible turnout while raising vital funds to support our township's ongoing programs and scholarships.

We are so grateful to everyone who ran, walked, volunteered, and cheered—and we can't wait to build on that momentum this year!
