About the Operation Hope: AAS 5K/10K for Suicide Awareness
This race runs through Jordan's Point Park, organized by the Arnold Air Society as a service project focused on suicide prevention and mental health. The cause shapes the atmosphere: it draws cadets, veterans, and local community members together, and the pace people choose matters far less than showing up. The park setting keeps things grounded and quiet.
Check-in wraps up before the start, so arriving a little early is worth it. Parking is available at the park itself, along Jordan's Point Road, and at the VMI North Post lots, with overflow options in town if those fill.
