Houghton – Annual POW/MIA Memorial 5K Run

Lace up your Shoes for the Annual 5K POW/MIA RUN

The community is invited to come together in support of our local veterans at the upcoming Annual Pow/MIA Memorial 5k Run being held at 9am Saturday September 13th at the ROTC Building on the Michigan Tech campus. The Arnold Air Society, a Michigan Tech registered student organization, sponsors this event to honor and remember our nation’s Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action. This event also raises awareness and support for the men and
women who have bravely served our country. Participants of all ages and fitness levels are encouraged to join – whether you run, jog or walk, your presence helps carry forward the spirit of remembrance and gratitude.

All the proceeds raised from the event will go to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Copper Ingot Post No. 4624 in Hubbell and will be used to help local veterans in need.

The route will start at the ROTC building, go to the Portage Lift Bridge and return. Following the run, there will be a prize for 1 st place as well as a raffle for other prizes. The first 50 participants registered will receive a T-shirt.

The cost of the run is $20 and registration is now open. Please scan the QR code provided below or contact mlbouchet@mtu.edu to register. Same day registration will also be available from 8am until the start of the run at 9am.

So mark your calendar and join us in honoring those who have served and sacrificed.
