Every Mile Funds the Mission
Operation RaceDay was founded in Asheville, NC by Army veteran Jonathan Milkovich with a simple belief: the running community has the power to change lives. Every race we organize is more than just a run — it's a direct pipeline of support to veterans and first responders who need it most.
Through Operation WarriorFit, your registration fees fund fitness programs, mental health resources, and community building for those who've served. Veterans, service members, and first responders race for just $9.95.
