AFVRF Jacksonville History

The Armed Forces Veterans Run Foundation, launched initially as the Marine Corps Half Marathon & Freedom 5K, held its inaugural marathon on Saturday, October 2, 2004. This event began an annual tradition in the Southeastern United States, particularly in Jacksonville. 


Over the years, the marathon has grown significantly, with an average registration of over 4,000 runners from various states. This longstanding tradition honors those who have served our nation and supports numerous military and veterans' non-profit organizations.


In the last twenty-one years, this race has raised over one million dollars, providing essential resources and support to those who have dedicated their lives to serving our country. 


This run is more than just a race; it symbolizes community, resilience, and unwavering gratitude to our armed forces.
