SERIOUS FUN

Geared for both experienced and novice runners, this flat 5 & 10 mile course will provide an excellent opportunity to SHATTER PRs and will be clearly marked with water stations along the way. The 5 miler provides the same air power excitement as the 10 miler in a smaller package! In the fans’ section, we’ll have a finisher festival featuring a variety of vendors and food trucks. Everyone is sure to have a good time!

The Navy 10 Miler is hosted by NAS JRB Fort Worth’s Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) team. MWR provides a variety of services and programs on base to support the mission of the service members.
