On September 13, 2026, runners of all abilities are invited to participate in the Honor and Heal 5K Run/Walk at VFW Post 9788. This community-driven event is designed not only as a platform for physical fitness but also as an opportunity to honor local veterans who have dedicated their lives to serving our nation.
The race begins with participants gathering early on a crisp morning, surrounded by the warm atmosphere of camaraderie and respect that defines VFW Post 9788.

The course itself is a blend of paved paths and smooth trails, making it accessible yet challenging enough to engage every participant's competitive spirit. The flat terrain ensures that runners can focus on their pace without worrying about significant elevation changes, allowing everyone the chance to achieve personal bests or simply enjoy the experience at their own comfortable speed.
Throughout the event, there are opportunities for attendees to learn more about local veterans and the post’s ongoing efforts in supporting them through various initiatives. This includes informational booths set up along the route where participants can pause briefly to gain insight into the lives of those who have served our country with distinction.
The day culminates with a celebratory gathering at VFW Post 9788, offering refreshments and an environment conducive to community bonding. Here, runners and their supporters come together to share stories, reflect on the journey they've undertaken as part of this meaningful event, and look forward to future opportunities for service and remembrance.
Join us in celebrating our veterans while contributing positively towards your health and fitness goals. The Honor and Heal 5K Run/Walk is more than just a race; it's an expression of gratitude and solidarity with those who have defended the freedoms we enjoy today.
