Escape Belle Isle 5K

The Escape Belle Isle 5K Run and Ruck is a vibrant running event scheduled for May 3, 2025, in Richmond, Virginia, aimed at supporting military service members during Military Appreciation Month. Participants can choose between a traditional 5K run, a ruck challenge requiring a weighted backpack, or virtual options. The course features scenic views and a mix of terrains, including hills and gravel paths.

Awards will be given to the top finishers in both categories, and all participants receive a challenge coin and patch. Proceeds benefit Semper Fi & America’s Fund, providing support to injured service members and their families. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
