2023 - Quantico 24-Hour Walk, Run & Relay for Charity

2nd Annual Quantico 24-Hour Walk/Run for Charity

Purpose: Bring the community together and raise awareness about Semper Fi & America's Fund.   Focus: Teamwork instead of individual effort. (Teams can be as small as they’d like or up to 48 people, one person every 30 minutes. If someone participates as an individual, they can walk or run whenever/however long they want. Overall, it’ll be more fun at 4:00 am with more people.) Cost: $25 for registered participants. (Remaining balance after covering t-shirt fees will go directly to SF&AF . Anyone can walk, run, or cheer participants for free. However, to receive a t-shirt and be eligible for prizes, awards, etc., individuals/teams must officially register. Everyone who registers will also receive a swag bag of goodies, promo items, etc. We will also have a free popsicle, toy, and book table for kids next to the SF&AF booth.)
