The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF) announced the 3rd annual Relay for Heroes race will take place on September 8, starting at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and running up the West Side Highway.
New this year, the race will be a 12-hour relay consisting of four- and six-person teams, changing from last year’s 24 hour race with four- and eight-person teams.
“Relay for Heroes was started as a way raise funds for our military heroes who are suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury or Post-Traumatic Stress,” said Winston Fisher, Partner at Fisher Brothers, and IFHF board member.
“It has now grown into a 12-hour team relay in support of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which recently opened two new Intrepid Spirit Centers and has plans for three more to help treat these debilitating conditions.”
100 percent of all donations to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund goes toward building Intrepid Spirit Centers, diagnostic and treatment facilities that aid military heroes suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS).
Dozens of teams are expected to compete in the third annual Relay for Heroes, which will start at 8:00 a.m. on September 8 and conclude at 8:00 p.m.
Registration is now open, and teams can visit http://www.fallenheroesfund.org/relay.
