Join Us to Support Our Veterans We invite you and your family to a meaningful Veterans Day event along the beautiful shoreline of Saint Simons Island, honoring those who’ve served and confronting a crisis we cannot ignore. Every single day, 22 veterans die by suicide. These are not just numbers; they are parents, children, siblings, and friends. Brave men and women who survived combat zones but never found peace at home. Many return from service carrying both visible and invisible wounds: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), loss of limbs, and the heavy weight of isolation. Returning to civilian life is not always easy, and too many veterans face this transition without the resources or community they desperately need. That’s why we run. Fairways for Freedom®, in partnership with SSI VFW Post 4092, is working to change that. Proceeds from this event will directly fund local programs that help combat-injured veterans reconnect, recover, and rebuild their lives using innovative, holistic approaches through several ways, including the healing power of golf. This event is more than a run. It’s a commitment to raise awareness, fight stigma, and save lives. STAND with us! Lace up for LIFE! Together, we can ensure NO veteran fights their battles alone! REGISTRATION: All entries include a T-shirt and a finisher medal. Register by September 7th to secure early bird pricing: 5K Race: $35 1 Mile Walk: $35 Children Under 12: $20 Starting September 8th, prices increase to: 5K Race: $40 1 Mile Walk: $40Children Under 12: $20 💯 100% of entry fees and donations go directly to Fairways for Freedom® to support local combat-injured veterans. 🧥 **EXTENDED until Oct 15th** T-shirt Guarantee: Register by October 8th, 2025, to ensure your event T-shirt. 👟 This event will not be chipped.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.
