As of 2/11 at 9:15am the event is now sold out!
This race is to bring awareness to the veteran suicide crisis that we face. We aim to bring hope and show there is another option. We lost Stephen “Doc” Johnson this past March and we hope to keep bringing the 22/day number down.
Operation Shockwave is a 501c non-profit organization, based in Tempe, AZ with the mission to prevent suicide by empowering Veterans to overcome adversity through the promotion of alternative healing modalities, community outreach opportunities, and transitional/rehabilitation services.
