RUN TO REMEMBER A VETERAN!!! Join us on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at 9 a.m. for our 10th Annual 5k Run to Remember and honor a veteran. This is a family friendly event for our great community. Runners and walkers of all skill levels and ages are invited to come and enjoy this fun‐filled affair! Walkers are welcome on our 1.4. mile course, and children ages 2 – 10 are welcome for the Kids Fun Run. |

The 5k course begins and ends at our VFW Post home at 15 Milford Street (Rt. 140) in Upton, MA. Our race will honor all Active, Reserve, and Guard members and veterans who served our country in the past. Each participant will 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. We anticipate 100+ runners and are looking forward to having a first-class event for many years to come!
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. |
