11.15.2010 | 5K Bomb Suit Run Fundraiser
Completed – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
$1,930 received in donations
The purpose of the 5K Bomb Suit Run is to raise funds and awareness for the EOD Memorial and Wounded EOD Warrior Foundations. This is a joint theater (Iraq and Kuwait) and joint service event in which we are all working together for the same cause.
The run encompasses a 5k event in which EOD techs will run in a bomb suit or flak & helmet. Some personnel will be running the full 5k in the bomb suit as an individual event while others will be splitting it up into a relay event in which each leg of the race will be approximately 1 mile. This event will be opened up to the base populace to participate but ONLY EOD Techs will be running in a bomb suit. Some EOD participants are the Air Force members with the 407th EOD and the Army with the 663rd EOD. Iraq and Kuwait AOs are working together to complete this event and several bases in both theaters are taking part. Specific details of each event may change from base to base but the general concept will be the same.
