    KABUL, Afghanistan—Soldiers, sailors, airmen, coalition forces and civilians took part in the Boston Red Sox Run to Home Base here on May 22.

    Although the runners couldn’t be in Boston to run the race members of the 26th “Yankee” Brigade set up a satellite run for the fundraiser. The runners ran three laps around Camp Phoenix to complete the 9k race, which took place at the same time as the race in Boston.

    The Run to Home Base is an annual fundraiser held by the Boston Red Sox Foundation to raise money and awareness for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. At the completion of the run, participants crossed an actual home plate from Fenway Park donated by the Red Sox and signed “bring it home… thanks for keeping us safe” by Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown.
