Description

Welcome to Steel City NROTC's 1st annual LtCol Raible 5k race and run! Not only is this a race but it is a celebration to honor LtCol Raibles sacrifice and life.

Registration includes snacks, a t-shirt and many other prizes (pictured below) from our sponsors. After and before the race food and refreshments will be provided, we will have games, prizes and raffles. After the race there will be a ceremony to honor LtCol Raible so please feel free to stay for the whole time.

LtCol Raible is a Pittsburgh native and Carnegie Mellon University graduate who lost his life while leading his Marines into combat against 15 insurgents in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. It is because of his quick thinking and disregard for his own safety that the troops of Camp Bastion were able to eliminate the threat before they could attack more personnel and equipment. While two sentences cannot fully capture the magnitude of LtCol Raible's actions, we would like to express our utmost respect by hosting an event on CMU's campus to memorialize and celebrate his life. Below is his full bio.
