Hi Everyone!
Welcome to July - another month closer to our Marines coming home and our goal of running to Afghanistan! We currently stand at 2,901 miles! Thank you so much for your hard work and commitment so far. In addition to our local families in the Camp Lejeune area, we have gained support (and miles!) from many 2d LAR families across the United States. It's amazing to see the commitment we all have to reaching this goal.
Our next big local race is on July 23rd - Run the Beach 8k at Onslow Beach. Click here for a registration form We look forward to seeing some familiar faces and racking up the miles at this event!
Also, we are in the planning stages with the Family Readiness Team to create our own 2d LAR Run to Afghanistan 5k on Camp Lejeune! Right now, the plan is to have a 5k / family picnic in October. This would be the last month before our Marines come home and (hopefully) our last big effort to get to and pass our 7,000 mile marker! Look out for more information on this event.
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer! Keep the miles coming and stay motivated!
