The entire event was marked with an air of happiness and freedom!&nbsp;Participants took on the Pinellas Trail while carrying their campus guidons; some ran, some walked, and some took on the Park Street overpass as if they were charging Bunker Hill (backwards, but you get it).&nbsp; A great time was had by all &#8211; so much so that the Seminole SVA believes you can catch them at the park for a group run pretty routinely in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay tuned Vets\u2026we\u2019ve gotta keep it moving! Get out there and move your body!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
