The Chick-fil-A on Garden of the Gods organizes and supports this local event called the Patriots' Festival. It includes the Walk Ride Run for Heroes and you're able to select whichever race or event fits your interests and fitness level. From a Walk in the park, to a 43-mile bike ride, there are plenty of options. For runners, the Hometown Heroes 5K is a no brainer to help support local charities that honor our police, fire, EMS and military personnel. Also, if you fit any of those categories, you'll get an additional $5 discount off registration. Even if you aren't ready to participate in one of the races, the event is FREE and open to anyone.
