2025 Battle of the Branches 5K Run/Walk Race Description
JOIN US IN THE FIGHT AGAINST VETERAN SUICIDE
The Battle of the Branches is back. This annual event shines a light on the pressing issue of Veteran suicide while supporting programs that provide crucial assistance to Veterans and their families.
The event promises a friendly rivalry as all branches of the military – Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force – compete for bragging rights by registering the most participants from their branches. But it's not just about the run; it's about community,
awareness, and support.
Join us for a day of unity, featuring Veteran information booths. The Battle of the Branches event is family-friendly, and all are invited to participate.
Your donations and proceeds from this event support services directed towards Veterans and their families in the fight against Veteran suicide.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs 2022 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report, the average number of Veteran suicides per day is alarmingly high, rising from 16.4 in 2001 to 16.8 in 2020, with the highest numbers of 18.6 per day in 2018. Source:
