Lt. Michael P. Murphy Medal of Honor Run
5K Run / 1M Mile Walk
@ Forest Park
This is a Veterans Day run in honor of Lt. Michael P. Murphy (SEAL), who was killed in Afghanistan trying to save his SEAL team. He was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery by President George W. Bush. The movie "Lone Survivor" starring Mark Wahlberg is their story.
A Penn State University alumnus, Lt. Murphy believed that, “Education will set you free”. Proceeds will benefit the Murph Foundation that supports scholarships for those pursuing careers in our armed forces.
Why Do We Run Lt. Murphy "Murph" Races Around The Country?
