Run for a Cause
Where Every Step
Tells a Story
The San Antonio Marathon is proud to partner with Face the Fight® as our official benefiting partner.
This December, lace up in a city built on military heritage, resilience, and community. Whether you run, walk, or roll, your miles will honor those who’ve served — and help save lives by supporting suicide prevention for veterans and service members.
Run for those who served.
Run to break the silence.
Run to Face the Fight.
Why We Run to Face the Fight
Since 2001, more than 125,000 veterans have died by suicide. Behind each number is a name, a story, a family — heroes who deserve healing and hope. They fought for us. Now it’s our turn to fight for them.
By fundraising with Face the Fight, you’re joining a national movement committed to:
- Breaking the stigma around asking for help
- Expanding access to proven resources — counseling, crisis care, and peer support
- Promoting healing for veterans, active-duty service members, and their families
Your miles matter. Your fundraising fuels hope. Together, we can reduce veteran suicide and bring lasting change.
