Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post and Auxiliary 3830, Pahoa, in proud partnership with Hawai'i County Parks & Recreation, invites the entire community to participate in the 14th Annual Hilo Bay Veterans Independence Day Run, Walk, and Roll, held in conjunction with the Freedom 250 celebration.
The run is an inclusive 5K Run, Walk, and Roll honoring those who served our nation while raising awareness of the challenges faced daily by our ill and injured veterans. This is more than a race - it's a community celebration of service, unity, and patriotism.
