Second Annual SSC Wounded Warrior Run: April 26th

Running to support the local community

Don’t let this long winter get you down! Run local and support your community by running to care for those in harms way. The SSC Wounded Warrior Run’s second annual race is raising money for wounded service members and military families in our D.C. area community.

The 5K and 10K race will take place next Saturday, April 26th at the Agricultural History Farm Park. The race includes a free kids fun run, live music by Broken Rocker, and prizes and raffles from local businesses.

"Last year was a great inaugural year and we are excited that this year we will be directly supporting our local community of wounded warriors at Walter Reed," said Christine Kempsell, race director. "We are also proud to be supported by a great number of local and small businesses."

President and CEO, Lani Hay, is a Naval Academy alumna military veteran and LMT has used data analytics to protect military troops and civilian communities from getting hurt.
