All net proceeds will be donated to Run for a Vet, an organization that aids local vets and families. Past assistance has taken the form of donations to veterans' families for auto repairs, temporary housing for a military widow, job placement for an unemployed veteran and coverage of a veteran's funeral costs.
This year's event honors First Lieutenant Richard Hillberg, retired from the U.S. Army. The lieutenant served in Vietnam and is a Silver Star and Bronze Star recipient.
The race also honors the memory of U.S. Army veteran Frederick Maguire, a member of 182 Sapper Company who served in Iraq.
