Hero's Hill Challenge

About

Join us at Operation Hero's Hill, where we lace up to make a powerful stride toward ending veteran homelessness. Spearheaded by Mayor Glenn Jacobs, this heartwarming initiative offers a chance to provide our heroes with the safe and honorable homes they deserve. On March 21, 2026, at the scenic Johnson University Campus, participants can run a competitive 5k, join a relaxed family walk/run, or tackle the grit-testing Hero's Challenge. Whether you're sprinting for medals or strolling with loved ones, every step you take helps secure shelter for the 20 valiant veterans in our community who need it most. Mark your calendar, gather your strength, and let's rally for our veterans – because they've bravely rallied for us.
