From the Organizer
Livingston County Veteran Services and Howell Recreation present the fourth annual 9/11 “Never Forget 5K Trail Run/Walk.” Join us at Fillmore County Park on September 12th at 9 am as we remember those who lost their lives that day, as well as our military veterans and first responders who went into harm’s way as a result of the attack. This trail is not paved, so all-terrain strollers are recommended. All runners who register on or before August 14th will receive a t-shirt. All participants will receive a finisher medal. Proceeds will be used to purchase AEDs for as many local American Legion and VFW Posts as possible after all event-related costs have been covered.
As much as we love your furry friends, we are kindly requesting that only service dogs join us
