Lutheran Military Veterans and Families Ministries (LMVFM) will be hosting our 5th Annual Battle Rattle 5K & 10K Run/Walk at St. John's Lutheran Church Lake Township. We are also a Fort Wayne Running Club Points Race for the 10k portion of this event.
YES – We have added a 10K to our Battle Rattle!
If you like to push yourself to a longer distance or simply enjoy 10K then be sure to join us this fall!
Changing Footprints will be accepting donations of your unneeded shoes, of any type or condition.
Join us for a scenic run/walk through the country roads of Lake Township, while we facilitate community involvement in the support and assistance of our Veterans, Military Contractors and their families. LMVFM was established in 2007 by Executive Director, Leslie Haines, a retired US Army Major. LMVFM provides free care and counseling to our military Veterans, contractors and their families, no matter how long they served, where they served, or what branch of the military they served. By being non-profit and not accepting government funding, they are able to keep Christ at the center of their services and care.
The Battle Rattle 5K & 10K Run/Walk is fun for the entire families as we race along the scenic country roads of Lake Township. The race will be timed by Watt's My Time.
The Battle Rattle 5K & 10K Run/Walk, a virtual event taking place on November 2nd, 2024, offers participants the flexibility to complete their chosen distance (5K or 10K) anywhere they wish, embracing the spirit of the original Fort Wayne, Indiana-based race. While specific historical details for this particular "Battle Rattle" event aren't provided, virtual races generally allow participants to run or walk their chosen course at their convenience within a designated timeframe, submitting their results electronically. This format is ideal for those who cannot attend in person or prefer the freedom of a self-guided experience, fostering community engagement through shared virtual participation. Participants can anticipate a standard race experience in terms of achieving their fitness goals, with the primary difference being the lack of a centralized starting line and organized course. This means individuals will be responsible for their own route planning, ensuring safety, and tracking their time. The virtual nature bypasses typical on-site conditions such as weather specific to Fort Wayne, crowd support, and established terrain. However, the core of the event remains a celebration of running and walking, encouraging active lifestyles and a sense of accomplishment regardless of location. Notable features of this virtual race are its accessibility and the ability to connect with a wider community of runners and walkers through shared virtual achievement.
