I was afraid to try something different. I was always running for myself. It felt really good to raise money for fallen brothers and sisters. That day we all ran together. We were runners, military and civilian and part of the special operations family. -Sandy S. 

In 2022, the Destin Beach Ultra runners raised over $20,000 for the SOWF! Bringing our total raised to $522,000+ over eight years. Our goal for 2024 is $50,000 but we need EVERY runner's help to reach that goal. Your entry fee goes to putting on the race, your fundraising efforts support the SOWF.
