Event Description

RUN TO REMEMBER A VETERAN!!! Our race honors all Active, Reserve, and Guard members and veterans who served our country in the past. Each participant is encouraged to wear the name of a veteran they wish to honor. If you don’t have your “own” veteran, we’ll provide you with a veteran’s name. A great way to show support! 

Run to Remember 5K In-Person Certified/Timed Run on Saturday, October 7th at 9:00am at Upton’s VFW Post.
