Join us for the Celebrate Veterans 5K as we come together to honor and recognize the brave men and women who have served our country. This meaningful run/walk is more than just miles—it’s about gratitude, remembrance, and community.
We are proud to partner once again with Project Recover, an organization dedicated to locating and bringing home American service members still missing in action. As of the latest reports, approximately 81,000 service members remain unaccounted for. Together, we can help raise awareness and support efforts to bring them home.
Whether you run, walk, or simply come to show your support, your presence makes a difference.
