The David Warsen Legacy 5K is a Running race in Kentwood, Michigan consisting of a 5K.
The David Warsen Legacy Team is hosting a run & walk event in honor of SO2 Navy SEAL David Warsen. David was a very active person who loved fitness and the outdoors. As family and friends of David, we want to honor him by celebrating his life and giving nature through a community event. This event will be held on August 13, 2016 and includes a 5K fun run that will take place on the cross-country trail and a walk on the campus of East Kentwood High School in Kentwood, MI.
Maps of the Run & Walk courses are below.
This event is less about speed and more about having fun, like David always did! Whether you are a serious runner or someone just looking for a way to remember David, this event is for you! Bring your family for a morning of exercise and fun! Children 12 and under can walk or run for free with an adult (t-shirt not included, but available for purchase at the event). Please make sure to fill out a registration form for each child so that we have an injury waiver filled out for your child.
And don't forget your short-shorts for our competition!
HERO WALK
Our walk is called the HERO Walk in honor of those fallen and serving in our armed forces in the local area and Michigan! The Blue Star Mothers of Kent County will be assisting us in honoring those that serve in all branches of our Military locally and nationwide. We will be honoring Gold Star families as well in our Hero Walk.
The purpose of this is to put a face to those who serve and those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice. We as David's family know all too well the risks that these brave individuals and families face day to day. They are truly heroes!
We need to support them.
Please email us - herowalk2014@gmail.com for more information on having your Hero honored at our event, currently serving or fallen.
