The Carry Forward 5K is an event organized by Wounded Warrior Project that takes place on August 15, 2026, at NTC Park at Liberty Station in San Diego. The event distance is 5K and participants may walk, jog, or run.
Participants can choose one of three optional ways to carry support: Flag to show patriotism, Fitness to carry a weight representing responsibilities borne during service, or Fierce to carry another person to symbolize mutual support among warriors. Funds raised support Wounded Warrior Project programs, connection, and support for wounded veterans.

Medals are available at the finish line.
