Role with the 10 Miler

I lead the E. C. Glass HS Air Force JROTC by providing road guards for the race — from EC Glass HS to the Farm Basket. We also have a running team that participates in the race.

What is your favorite part about race day?

To be able to give back to our community, and cheering on the racers as they accomplish goals.

Anything else we should know?

We are always proud to serve our community and our nation with patriotism, as we continue to uphold the Air Force Core Values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do!
