Hostage-Themed Charity Run Angers Military Families

A local charity run is infuriating military families in metro Atlanta.

Organizers of the so-called "Hostage Run" say the profits from the event will be donated to a military charity, but the wives of deployed soldiers say the entire premise is disrespectful.

The run basically mimics a kidnapping, with the runners having black bags over their heads and their hands zip-tied behind their backs.

11Alive's Kaitlyn Ross spoke with military families who said they're making fun of a horrifying reality for some of America's service members.

“This is a fear of all military wives, husbands, children—of all military mothers,” said Renea Carl.
