Soldiers and civilians will be trekking through the streets of Fort Bragg June 6 in celebration of the Army’s 238th birthday.

The 17th annual Army Birthday 10-mile race begins at 6:30 a.m. at Hedrick Stadium, and the 8th annual Army Birthday 4-mile walk will follow. The 4-mile walk will be a non-competitive event.
