Not a runner? Good news. We brought music. 🎸

JT & The Gunslingers will be joining us at the Honor Bound Veterans 5K Fun Run on June 20 at Cascade Lake Park.

Run it, walk it, bring the family, cheer from the side, then stick around for live music after the 5K.

This event is open to everyone, not just veterans and not just runners.

Honor Bound Veterans works to combat veteran isolation and su***de by building real community through events, peer connection, and support.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our vets out there!
