RUN FOR THE LOVE OF AMERICA

Running, walking, rucking this event is much more than one foot in front of the other. Each step is filled with remembrance and gratitude for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. PrairieFire is privileged to count numerous individuals who have served with honor and distinction, embodying the spirit of patriotism and the very foundation of the American idea.

For us, a Memorial Day run is much more than a fun event. We honor those who have given their life, those who have served, and all the family members who support them. For this reason, all proceeds will be donated to Shields and Stripes and the incredible support they provide.
