The Joseph Lopez-Pratti Memorial 5K was started to memorialize a local fallen hero but has grown to an annual event that donates 100 percent of its profits to the DarkHorse Lodge.
The Dark Horse Lodge will be a 5-guest cabin retreat center located in Paris, TN to all combat veterans to come for rest, fishing and restoration. The Dark Horse Lodge is a project started by the parents of LCpl Alec Catherwood, who also lost his life alongside Joey in the Sangin Province of Afghanistan on October 14th, 2010.
Joseph Lopez-Pratti grew up in Rosamond, California and enlisted into the U.S. Marine Corps in 2009. On October 14th, 2010, Lance Corporal Lopez-Pratti was Killed in action while serving his tour of duty in the Sangin Province of Afghanistan.
This event is a family fun loving event that promotes health, wellness and most importantly remembrance.
