Race to Remember – Veterans Day (Running Event)

ABOUT RACE TO REMEMBER: “Race to Remember: is a nonprofit organization “Race to Remember” is the name of our nonprofit, formed in Vancouver Washington 2009 after our founder Claudia Cardenas lost her fiancé Jason Vinyard a 20yr Army Veteran serving at Ft. Vancouver at the time of his passing. “Race to Remember” mission is to support and honor our past and present military heroes. We host several events throughout the year including four races. During every event we host or participate in we remember and honor those who fought for our freedom. Outside of racing we organize military care packages; and engage with the community by coordinating such projects as “Soldier in the Classroom”, “Thank You Cards” and “Books for Soldiers”. Our immediate goal is to form partnerships with local business and other veteran organizations to help us best serve veterans in our communities. Our long term goal is to establish a college scholarship for the Fallen Heroes children and spouses.

Race to Remember – Veterans day has the honor of once again leading out the Veterans Day Parade.

Race to Remember will be hosting their annual “Race to Remember Veterans Day Race” (5K – 11K- Kids 1K – Half Marathon – Virtual Race) in conjunction with The Historic Trust Fort Vancouver Veterans Parade
