Hilltop U.S.A. 5K

This is our most popular option. Participants will complete the 5k/3.1-mile course by running or walking and are eligible for the age group awards.

The 5K race is a popular distance for both serious runners and casual participants, and it is a great way to get active, have fun and support our local veterans and their families.

A Ruck Race is a type of race where participants carry a backpack or rucksack that weighs 35 lbs or more while completing the 5k course. The additional weight adds an extra physical challenge for participants, making it more intense than a standard race.

It is a great way to test your strength and endurance while supporting a good cause. The rucksack must be carried throughout the entire race and will be checked and weighed before the start.

PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO BRING THEIR OWN RUCKSACKS THAT MUST WEIGH 35 LBS OR MORE.

What is a Virtual Race? A virtual race is a way for participants to take part in an event while being able to choose their location. It allows everyone the opportunity to stay motivated and maintain their training momentum, while also supporting a great cause.

For our Hilltop U.S.A. 5K virtual race, you will have the flexibility to complete the race over the entire 4th of July weekend, and you will even have the option to submit your results if you choose. You can complete the race on locations like a treadmill, road, nature trail, park, or sidewalks.

We want to express our sincere gratitude for your support of our race and the veterans in our community.
