This challenge will go from December 1 to 31, 2026 This Challenge is FREE for due-paying members (you will be emailed a code to use at checkout and your membership must be active on 12/31/2026). If you are not a due-paying member, there will be a $15 fee to join.

It is all on the honor system if say you did it, we will believe you! That is why there are tiers, so the walkers that may earn only 1 or 2 chances will not feel like the higher mileage people who have 3 or 4 or even more chances in the basket will win all the prizes. This is to motivate you during what would be a busy time of the year. So, you can get your miles in the outdoors or indoors on a track or even treadmill, and even elliptical. About the only way we are NOT counting miles is by bike. We will use a shared spreadsheet on "Google Sheets". (There is an app for your phone). Once we get closer, we will email everyone a link to the sheet. If you are not able to figure out how to use it, please reach out to crccontactus@gmail.com and we will work with you. The Process: Input miles completed on your named tab in the google spreadsheet (preferably daily or at least every few days) ALL MILES MUST BE INPUT BY MONDAY JAN 4, 2027 For every 15miles, your name will be put in for a raffle prize We will do the raffles during the first monthly meeting of 2027 Tiers Tier One - Under 30miles Tier Two - 30.01miles-124miles Tier Three - Above 124miles *Top earner from each Tier will automatically win a prize **You can only win once** Bonus Days and Points!

YOU WILL ONLY BE INPUTTING INFORMATION IN COLUMNS A-D. WE (CRC) WILL BE IN CHARGE OF COLUMN E (OFFICIAL POINTS).

Run it with people who get it. ★ The Veterans Appreciation Run started in St. Louis. Now it comes to Clarksville, right next door to Fort Campbell. Pick the 5K or step up to the 10K. Come out with your old unit, your family, or by yourself and leave with a crew. Where your registration goes Every dollar goes to Go Forth Racing, a veteran-founded nonprofit. We use it to sponsor veteran events all year, show up where vets gather, and back the people already doing the work. Nobody should have to carry the load alone. Run with us and help carry it.

Life;Story is Centerstone’s national walk/run for suicide prevention, bringing communities together across Tennessee, Illinois, Florida, Missouri, and Indiana for a day of hope, healing, and connection. Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome, from families with strollers and kids in the youth races to runners with dogs and virtual supporters joining from afar. In Tennessee, the event takes on an additional focus: the start and finish lines sit just miles from the gates of Fort Campbell, home to the decorated 101st Airborne Division, the 5th Special Forces Group, and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Here, Life;Story also serves to honor the brave service members, veterans, and military families who have carried the invisible wounds of war—reminding them they are seen, valued, and never alone. The semicolon in Life;Story symbolizes a pause—not an ending—and reflects the belief that every person’s story has more ahead. That spirit is felt throughout race day with a welcoming, supportive atmosphere filled with community vendors, mental health and military‑specific resources, free giveaways, and crowd‑favorite perks like an event T‑shirt, finisher medal, and access to our curated Spotify playlist. Proceeds from Life;Story in Tennessee help provide critical mental health and addiction services for individuals with limited or no resources—including dedicated support for military service members, veterans, and their families. By participating, you’re helping save lives, strengthening your community, and reminding others that their story matters—and that it’s far from over. A $5 discount is available to 1st Responders using promo code, 1STRESPONDER5, and to Military/Veterans using promo code MILITARY5.
