The Army Ten-Miler kicked off early this morning, and participants are running for a purpose this year. It’s the second-largest ten mile run in the country, but the Army invites the runners to do more than just add another race to their portfolio. Instead, they invited them to Run to Honor.
Whether participants were running in Washington, D.C. or earning their miles at home, they were asked to print out a sign declaring that they were running to honor or remember a loved one. Then, they were asked to share on social media using the hashtags #SymbolsOfHonor and #RunToHonor. People ran for their brothers and their fathers. Army units ran to remember those they had lost. Sailors ran to honor their shipmates, Marines, and their brothers. It was truly a run with a purpose.
