Mission Driven Events, Goodyear

To honor the mighty men and women who've given their all for the country, the 2014 Salute Our Troops Run puts running shoes on the ground in a scenic shuffle packed with pride. It's all for a good cause, too: the run benefits the Military Assistance Mission of Arizona in providing financial aid and morale for current Arizona active duty military, their families, and wounded warriors. With races in both Phoenix and Tucson, participants can absorb the scenery on the 5K run/walk or leapfrog over their next of kin in the family fun run. Afterward, achievers collect their awards and a festival for families features jump castles, crafts, a military honor wall, and a special military ceremony.
