6th Annual Milford Moves for Veterans 5K

In keeping with all city, state and federal mandates we are canceling our 2020 event at this time. We are deeply saddened and regret having to make this decision. We looked forward to seeing you all, honoring our veterans and donating to our charity partners. 

We remain optimistic that we will all get through the crisis we face safely and be able to have our great event again in 2021. Thank for your support and understanding. Stay safe.
