RICHMOND, Va. — The third annual Escape Belle Isle 5K Run and Ruck returned to the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond Saturday, raising money for injured veterans while honoring those who have served.
The event raises money for Semper Fi and America's Fund, a nonprofit that provides lifelong assistance to injured veterans. Saturday's event raised $1,600 toward its $10,000 goal.
The race includes both a 5K run and a rucking portion, in which participants carry weighted packs in honor of service members.
