RUN TO REMEMBER A VETERAN!!! The 11th Annual Run to Remember 5K is going virtual for 2020! Runners and walkers of all skill levels and ages are invited to participate. Participants will receive a race bib and gaiter and can engage in either a 5K run or 1.4 mile walk category. Kids can join too by participating in the Kids Fun Run / Dash. There’s plenty of time to complete the walk/run. The Virtual R2R will take place from October 3rd - 11th. |

Our race will honor 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; however, the Post will stand ready to provide names if the runner does not personally know a veteran. Select a veteran's name now.
Through our annual carnival, summer cruise nights, and Run to Remember 5k, we are able to maintain our Post home, community programs, and veteran support. Our mission is to foster camaraderie among United States veterans of overseas conflicts and to serve our veterans, the military and our communities and advocate on behalf of all veterans. |
