Description
Honor Our Veterans — Join Us This November!
This year, we are proud to partner with The Kaufman Fund, a nonprofit organization that has been serving veterans and their families across the St. Louis region for over 30 years. The Kaufman Fund provides critical support in areas such as mental health services, housing assistance, food programs, dental care, and educational resources — working tirelessly to ensure that no veteran is left behind. By joining the Veterans Appreciation Run, you are helping further this mission and making a direct impact on the lives of local veterans.

Lace up your running shoes and meet us on November 15 at Jefferson Barracks Park, a location rich in military history and a fitting place to gather in honor of those who have served. As you run or walk the scenic, tree-lined course, you’ll be part of a powerful community event that celebrates service, sacrifice, and unity.
This is more than just a 5K — it’s a chance for people of all ages and abilities to come together and express their gratitude. Whether you’re a dedicated runner or simply looking to enjoy a meaningful day with friends and family, we invite you to stand with us in support of the men and women who have given so much.
