This Veteran's 5K Run/Walk is to honor and support the brave men and women who served our country. This family-friendly event is great for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities, offering a course through an area of the Empire Polo. Come join us in this event as we celebrate veterans' service and sacrifice.
Participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Hunter Lopez Memorial Foundation. This event will also feature a pre-race celebration with refreshments, music, and a special ceremony to honor our veterans. Let's come together to run, remember, and show our appreciation for those who have given so much for our freedom.
Kid’s under the age of 10 are free and veteran’s receive a $25 discount.
