Salute the Troops, a non-profit organization who supports local service members, veterans, and their families through advocacy, education, training, financial assistance, and supportive programming to promote awareness, and fostering camaraderie that stimulates economic development in the community, will host their 10th annual half marathon, as well as the Dobogai Memorial 5K, the Fox Valley Savings Bank Kids Race, and Brandon Michael Memorial Ruck March, on Saturday, May 29, 2021. All courses are wheelchair friendly. 

Each year, Salute the Troops offers these races as a benefit to the community and a fundraiser for the organization. This year marks the 10th anniversary. The events take place on Oven Island at Lakeside Park in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Proceeds benefit veterans and their families in Fond du Lac, Dodge, and Sheboygan counties. This year’s annual race will feature a half marathon, Dobogai Memorial 5k run/walk, Brandon Michael Van Asten ruck march, and a kids race. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join their human.

“This annual event is something we look forward to every year,” Vicky Suprenand, Salute the Troops Board of Directors Vice President and event chairperson, said. “We’re particularly excited as this marks our 10th anniversary of these annual races. It is humbling to see so many turn out each year to support veterans and their families in our communities.”
