About The WingMan 10k
This race is held in honor of Joshua Shepherd, a military hero lost in 2008. The event aims to celebrate friendship, goal-chasing, and supporting one another, reflecting the values Joshua embodied. It's an opportunity to remember him and all those who have served our nation.
Race Concept: Teams and Camaraderie
The WingMan 10K is designed to foster connections among runners and encourage teamwork. Runners and walkers are randomly assigned to teams (color-coded for runners, black/gray for walkers) to promote friendly competition and mutual support. Non-competitive teams are available for those who prefer to participate without the pressure of competition.
Staggered Start
To ensure fair team competition, runners start in waves based on age and sex. This system helps to equalize teams, allowing for a more balanced contest.
Awards
Awards will be given to the first 25 overall runners, and the first-place color team of runners and walkers.
