Join us for the Manila Madness 5K Freedom Run/Ruck, an event honoring the legacy of Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone and the sacrifices of our nation's heroes.
5K RUN – USATF Certified
Test your endurance on a USATF-certified course, perfect for runners of all levels. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply looking to run in honor of a true American hero, this 5K is a meaningful way to challenge yourself while paying tribute to Basilone’s unwavering spirit.
5K RUCK – Ruck in GySgt. Basilone’s Shoes
Experience a challenge inspired by the weight of battle. Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone carried a Browning M1917 .30 caliber heavy machine gun, which alone weighs about 40 pounds when filled with water. If you’re looking for an even greater test of strength and endurance, take on the full combat load—machine gun with water, tripod, and ammunition—totaling approximately 100 pounds.
Whether you’re running, rucking, or supporting from the sidelines, this event is an opportunity to honor a Marine Corps legend and keep his legacy alive. Sign up today and push yourself like a warrior!
