Carry Forward - Host Your Own

Join us on March 1, 2022

Take action to honor wounded warriors and their sacrifice.

The mission of Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP) is to honor and empower wounded warriors. Through the WWP Host Your Own Carry Forward^® 5K, you have the opportunity to connect your community or workplace with the WWP mission in a one-of-a-kind event. Every step you take and dollar you raise will help empower wounded warriors as they take on their next mission.

There are three special ways to show your support while you run or walk at your Carry Forward 5K:

Flag

Carry a flag to show
support and patriotism.

Fitness

Carry a weight to represent
the responsibilities veterans bear
while serving our country.

Fierce

Carry another person to symbolize
one warrior carrying another
in their time of need.

How Host Your Own Carry Forward 5K Works

You’ll choose the location and date — Memorial Day, July 4th, Veterans Day, or anytime of year that works for you — and decide how large, or small, you’d like your 5K to be. It can be an event open your whole community, a company outing, a school-wide activity or anything in between.
