🌟 About the Challenge

The Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Walk/Run Challenge is a race inspired by the life of Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges, a United States Marine that was killed in combat in Afghanistan in May 2010. Josh chased his dream to become a Marine and every day, “lived life full throttle”. This event is not an average 5K run/walk. This event is better described as a 3+ mile road and trail run, with a twist of Marine Corps inspired obstacles and challenges sure to test mettle. 100% of the proceeds of this event have gone, and will continue to go, directly into the Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Scholarship fund.

🎓 Scholarship Information

All proceeds go to graduating Ludlow High Seniors that are pursuing their life’s passion as Josh was by becoming a United States Marine. This scholarship is different as it is open to any student regardless of college. They could be going to a trade school, joining the military, starting their own business, etc. The scholarship is a way of honoring Josh’s life while giving back to the community that supported us tremendously when we lost him.
