"Show Your Colors!"  Dress up in your best Patriotic Red, White, and Blue and come support your Service Members by running the Fifth Third Bank Second Annual Patriot Dash 5K! 

Join Fifth Third Bank, the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of Tennessee (EANGTN) & the National Guard Association of Tennessee (NGATN) in honoring our State and Nation's Service Members (currently serving and past served).

EANGTN & NGATN are professional organizations to which our TN Guardsmen/women, Civilian Supporters, and Corporations may voluntarily belong.  The Associations advocate on behalf of our Service Members, to ensure they receive the benefits and rights they deserve for the sacrifices they've made for our Nation.  This event will raise funds that will allow EANGTN & NGATN to continue fighting for our Service Members interests, provide scholarship opportunities, and grants to our Service Members going through financial hardships.
