5k Color Run for Equality Friday, Sept. 18 • 8 am

HERITAGE PARK Equality speaks softly, but for quite some time it has yelled to be heard. Your Way Forward (W4W) committee is making strides for Team Mildenhall.

Participants for this run will be broken up into groups of 29 and led by Team Mildenhall Senior Leaders. Each volunteer has donated their time to show they care about each of our Airmen.

Along this run there will be challenges and pledge points. Our hope is to continue to stoke the fires of equality until they cannot be extinguished. We'll continue to lead from the front until we all walk together.

Age Restrictions: All are welcome with parental consent for minors.
