The mission of Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) is to honor and empower wounded warriors. Now you have the chance to put that mission in motion and bring the WWP Carry Forward® 5K to your own community or neighborhood. Every step you take and dollar you raise will help empower wounded warriors as they take on their next mission.
You can walk, jog or run your 5K anywhere on any day. Amp it up by considering one of three special ways to show your support for our nation’s bravest:
Carry a flag to show
support and patriotism.
Carry a weight to represent
the responsibilities veterans bear
while serving our country.
Carry another person to symbolize
one warrior carrying another
in their time of need.

“The Carry Forward 5K allows us to engage our teammates and unify them around a common cause, allowing us to strengthen our culture and keep the veteran at the center of all we do.”
“I organized a Carry Forward Virtual 5K at the recommendation of a peer who participated and had a great experience. WWP was helpful and made coordinating my event a simple and impactful way to give back.”
