The John L. Coverly Sr. Memorial 5K ~Agent Orange Awareness Run~ 2025

Short review

Moore For The Troops is back with the second annual 5K....with some fun changes!!

Our focus for 2025 is Vietnam Veterans and bringing awareness to the impact of Agent Orange. The 5K is being held in memory of John Coverly. He proudly served in the U.S. Army, having voluntarily enlisted and requesting deployment to the Vietnam War, reflecting his deep dedication to his country. John was awarded the Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and Vietnam Campaign Medal for his service. He peacefully passed away at home on September 27, 2024, surrounded by his family.

100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Riddle Hospital Palliative Care Unit in John L. Coverly Sr.'s name. Riddle Hospital, a Main Line Health facility, is a staple without our community providing exceptional care for our loved ones and we are so excited to be working with them. 

More specifically, Mr. Coverly received excellent care while he was a patient there and we are honored to donate the proceeds in his name.

5K DETAILS:

This year we are taking the 5K off the track and onto school grounds. We will start and end the run on the track but the 5K will follow a trail around the school which includes some small hills, grassy areas and pavement.

If you prefer to stay on the track for the 5K, that is also an option. 

The one mile fun run will remain on the track. 4 laps around the track is equal to 1 mile.

*Dogs are NOT permitted on school grounds 

NEW ADDITION - This year we are adding a VIRTUAL option! If you would like to join us but aren't able to attend on April 5, you can still help us deliver our mission by running on your treadmill or favorite trail close to home! 

*In person participants will receive a t-shirt and finishers medal
