It is time to kick off the 2nd Annual Bubba's Belly Run, a 5K race to honor fallen heroes. Come out to the Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland on Sunday, September 26 to race for a cause. Join us in remembrance of those who fought for us and in support for those who continue to do so. Register today to support the families in need.
Bubba's Belly Run is a 5K run in honor and memory of Captain Brian "Bubba" Bunting, a fallen hero who was killed last year while serving the United States in Afghanistan leaving behind a young son and expecting wife. The race is held on the weekend of their wedding anniversary, when Bubba's race originally began. Today, they have two amazing children, Connor and Cooper, who strive to be just like their father.
The goal of Bubba's Belly Run is to help organizations each year that assist in the healing of families who have lost loved ones at war. In addition to the 5K race, there will also be a Maternity walk as well as a fun run for all ages. Last year more than 800 runners turned out to help raise more than $56,000.
Just as with our military troops, teamwork is needed to get this race up and running. For more information about volunteering, sponsorships, donating, or race and registration information, please visit www.bubbasbellyrun.com or e-mail at info@bubbasbellyrun.com.
