Speed has nothing to do with your chances, just LUCK!

The 5k course will not only have a crowd-friendly finish on the Bedford High School track, but the 1mile walk is exclusively on the TRACK. The 5k course includes the Indian Creek Park, gravel, but no street crossings. The Bedford Community Stadium bathroom facilities will be available throughout the event.

 

 

Our mission for this race is to create awareness of our volunteer Veteran services and increase our reach to support more local veterans and their families! Give veterans and active duty an evening of free racing/walking/camaraderie.

We want our community to know we are here, HERE to HELP!

 

The Bedford Veterans Center was founded in 2017 and actively creates solutions that solve the problems our Veterans face. Some services we provide are a place of support, appointments with Veteran Service Officers to discuss benefits/claims, readily available food pantry AND monthly food distributions serving over 35 veterans/families, and free round trips to medical appointments to the Toledo and Ann Arbor VA.

Email 5kbedfordveterans@gmail.com with questions and sponsor inquiries. For guide registration (there is no fee! Use GUIDE (code).

We ask you to consider *no shirt option if you prefer not to get one-this savings goes back to our veterans/volunteer center. Thanks!
