6th Annual Milford Moves for Veterans 5K

In keeping with all city, state and federal mandates we are suspending pre-registration at this time. We will closely monitor all developments and decisions and should anything change we will update this page as needed.

We will re-evaluate in mid April based on all current data, recommendations and mandates.

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