Join the Duke Armed Forces Association and the Duke University Office of Student Veterans on Saturday, Apr. 2 for the annual Veterans Victory Lap 5K. Run, walk, ruck, (or even crawl) Duke University’s beautiful East Campus as we celebrate the rich history of service in the Armed Forces that exists right here in our region.

This event is open to the public! Open to all members of the Fuqua School of Business, Duke University, Durham and greater Triangle community.

Proceeds from the race go to Purple Heart Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization founded by military veterans to provide housing solutions for service connected disabled and aging Veterans.

What is Section Cup?

Think of it like the House Cup in Harry Potter, but instead of earning points for answering a question right in Defense Against the Dark Arts or fighting a cave troll, you earn them for things like the Fuqua Coat Drive and Veterans Victory Lap. The section with the most points at the end of the year wins!

About Purple Heart Homes
Purple Heart Homes is a 501(c)3 public charity that was founded in 2008 by John Gallina and the late Dale Beatty, two combat wounded Veterans. After being injured in Iraq in 2004, they returned to their community and received a warm welcome and grateful appreciation for their service. They began to question why all Veterans didn’t get the same levels of support and assistance from society
