As participants cross the finish line, they will receive a bag of flower seeds and a sharpie marker to write down the heavy burdens they desire to be released from, OR who they are running in honor of. The idea is for the participants to be completely removed of all weights at least a quarter of a mile from the finish line so that the participants may run or sprint the last leg of the race free from weight. During the race there will be certain checkpoints where participants will unload a portion of weight, one checkpoint at a time. We ask that each participant bring their own new back pack and canned goods with messages of inspiration on them. This event is brought to you by the Jason Barney Family and the City of Mountain Home.įreedom for Fighters Walk/Run is unique in that all participants will have the option to fill a back pack at the start of the race with donated canned goods representing the heavy weights that those who are 'crushed in spirit' and/or wear the hidden scars of PTSD carry on a daily basis. ![]() ![]() The Freedom for Fighters 5K Walk/Run Event is presented to Mountain Home, Idaho in honor of all who are crushed in spirit specifically, those who carry the hidden wounds of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and Depression.
