The city of Los Alamitos is helping to support the military at the JFTB by collecting donations and matching these donations with up to $10,000. The MWR is a network that offers support and leisure for soldiers and their families.  “Honoring Our Fallen Heroes” is an organization started at the JFTB by a Los Alamitos resident and JFTB worker to help families recuperate after their deceased family members are brought home to rest. 

With all these great reasons to sign up as a race participant, how can you say no? This is an awesome opportunity to show your commitment to Los Alamitos and to your fellow community members.
