Join us for the 2nd Annual Operation Freedom Run: Wilmore 5K, a community event created to honor the men and women who have served our country while giving back to the veterans who call Thomson-Hood Veterans Center home. This year, we are proud to keep the mission close to home. 100% of proceeds from the race will benefit Thomson-Hood Veterans Center, helping support the veterans and families who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Whether you are an experienced runner, a casual walker, a military family member, a veteran, or simply someone who wants to support a great cause, we invite you to come out and be part of this special day. Bring your family, friends, and community and help us celebrate the courage, service, and sacrifice of our nation's heroes.
