The Marines Helping Heroes 5k Challenge – presented by Live! Casino-Hotel – is a fundraising event hosted by Arundel Mills in Hanover, MD.

This event consists of a 5K run with optional push-up and sit-up challenges. The Challenge is designed to replicate the US Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test.

Funds raised will benefit our local military, veterans, the Semper Fi Fund, and TreatNOW. These organizations assist all servicemen and veterans suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries, which have been linked to the epidemic of 22 suicides per day among veterans. The Marines Helping Heroes Foundation is a IRS 501(c)3 charitable organization.
