Our mission for this race is to create awareness of our Veteran services and increase our reach to support more local veterans and their families! 

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.

The 5k course will not only have a crowd-friendly finish on the Bedford High School track, but the mile run and walk are exclusively on the TRACK for the seasoned runner testing their limits, newbie building toward a 5k, or individual increasing walk/running independence. The 5k course will include parts of Indian Creek Park.

Your registration fee includes a soft, comfy, event-specific T-shirt, American-made finisher flag, and plenty of after race food/refreshments! Awards for top male/female Veteran 5K and 1-mile run finishers will be given. The Bedford Community Stadium bathroom facilities will be available throughout the event.

These races are at no cost to our VETERANS and ACTIVE DUTY Military- follow the registration prompts and use USA (coupon code). It's our honor to have you at the races! Please register using the code separately if more than one person/family registering. The coupon is for the veteran/active duty member only ☺️Thank you 🙏
