From the Race Organizer
Celebrating the 14th Annual Run for the Red, White & Blue 5K/1K! The Run for the Red, White & Blue 5K/1K is held each Memorial Day weekend to support the Chennault Aviation & Military Museum. Sign up to honor our active service members and veterans, and to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. The course is flat, fast, and well surfaced. The race will begin and end at the Museum with participants passing thru the Flags of Freedom for the last quarter mile. Timing by McDuffie Timing of West Monroe. All race proceeds benefit CAMM. Free tours of the Museum will take place during and after the 5K/1K events. You can also see the planes at the Museum's new Aviation Park & Pavilion. Finally, you can sponsor one of the Flags of Freedom during the last quarter mile of the course. Just click on the Flags of Freedom Sponsorship event. Thank you for your support. This is an essential fundraiser for the Museum and the active service members/veterans it serves.
