Join Team RWB's race team for the 47th Marine Corps Marathon!

Team Red, White & Blue is honored to have been selected as a Marine Corps Marathon Charity Partner. This year, Team RWB’s goal is to raise $175,000. Every dollar raised helps them with their mission to enrich veterans lives. With your support, they can ensure every veteran finds belonging and gains access to the life-changing impact of Team RWB. Together, you will forge the leading veterans health and wellness community to support increased physical and mental health. 

What does it mean to run for Team RWB on a Charity Bib?

Skip the lottery! This year, Team RWB Charity entries are available for a registration fee on a first come, first served basis. In addition to the registration fee, participants must also agree to the $800 fundraising commitment. In exchange for raising $800 to support their veteran enrichment programs, Team RWB will provide you with a guaranteed entry in the 47th Marine Corps Marathon. 

Registration is now open for the Travis Manion 9/11 Heroes Run 5k race series.  As years pass, their movement to remember and honor those who sacrificed on September 11, 2001, becomes more important. In addition to honoring the lives lost on that day, 9/11 Heroes Runs pay tribute to the thousands of veterans, active duty, and first responders who have courageously served in the wake of that national tragedy.

In partnership with GORUCK, each race location will feature a rucking division and all finishers will receive an exclusive 2022 9/11 Heroes Run TMF GORUCK patch.

Run, ruck, or walk with them this year to honor the service & sacrifice of our first responder & military heroes.
