Start2Finish Charlotte

Heroes are all around us...
Some run toward danger. Some teach, heal, lead, serve, or simply show up when their community needs them most.

That’s what HeroRun is all about: celebrating the people who make our communities stronger while supporting a cause that matters. 🏃❤️

Join us for the HeroRun 5K & 1K Fun Run, a morning of miles, music, family fun, and community. Every registration supports Veterans Bridge Home, helping veterans and their families find the resources and connections they need to thrive after military service.

This year, we’re also running in memory of Jake Miller.

Jake dedicated himself to helping veterans experiencing homelessness. What started as a “lemon aid” stand with his daughter grew into the Lemon Aid Stand, which has raised more than $80,000 for Veterans Bridge Home.

His family continues that mission, and we’re proud to run alongside them. ❤️

A hero to Pineville. A legacy worth running for. 🚒

On October 3, the Pineville community will come together for the Richard Sheltra Memorial 10K, 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run, honoring a man whose commitment to serving others came at the ultimate cost.

Richard Sheltra lost his life battling a multi-alarm fire in Pineville on April 30, 2016. Today, his legacy lives on through the Richard Sheltra Memorial Foundation, supporting the volunteer first responders who continue to answer the call.

Bring the people you love and be part of something that means more than a race. ❤️
