About This Race
The Fighting the Fight Within 5K is a meaningful charity run organized by 22 2 None, a Northern Michigan nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about veteran suicide and supporting local veterans in need. Held at the Veterans Serving Veterans Community Park in Cadillac, this professionally timed 5K features a cross-country course specifically developed for the event, along with an untimed 2-mile tribute walk. The race brings together the community to address the alarming statistic of veteran suicides, with 100% of proceeds supporting critical veterans programs including the Belay My Last Barracks transitional housing project, the Staff Sergeant Drew Kostic Veterans Scholarship at Northwestern Michigan College, and free outreach programs for area veterans. The event creates a family-friendly atmosphere with a community farmers market, local food trucks, and meaningful awards ceremony recognizing top finishers across multiple age groups.
