‘Bama hosts March 15 Warrior Half Marathon & 5K

The Flora-Bama’s 12th Annual Beach Run/Walk for America’s Warriors, with 100% of the registration fees going to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, will be held on Saturday, March 15, with a half marathon scheduled at 7:30 a.m. and a 5K Run & Walk at 9 a.m.
The start and end point is the beach behind the Flora-Bama, located at the Florida-Alabama state line directly on the Gulf of Mexico. All 5K runners will be headed into Alabama and all 1/2 marathon runners will be headed into Florida. Both runs are entirely on the beach.
The Special Operations Warrior Foundation ensures full scholarship grants and counseling to the surviving children of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps special operations personnel who lose their lives in the line of duty. It also provides immediate financial assistance for severely wounded special operations personnel and their families.
Trophies will be awarded three deep for all age groups in the run, the walk, and the half marathon.
Special awards will be given for overall male and overall female, and T-shirts are guaranteed to the first 400 registered participants.
