Wounded Warrior Project hosted its 5K fitness challenge, Carry Forward, in Jacksonville on Saturday, Nov. 10.
Delivered by CSX, the Jacksonville fundraiser has raised nearly $140,000 for wounded warriors so far. Participants were challenged to either carry a flag or load up with weights during the run. Those who decided to attempt the ultimate fitness challenge traded off carrying squad members throughout the duration of the course.
The challenge previously took place in San Diego and Nashville in October. Those who were unable to attend any of the runs in person can register virtually, start a squad with friends and family and host a 5K on a day that works best for their schedule. Wounded Warrior Project is asking people to complete the challenge by Saturday, Dec. 15.
