Veterans Appreciation Run
The Veterans Appreciation Run is a community running event held in Saint Louis, Missouri in November 2026. The in-person venue is Jefferson Barracks Park and the listed address is 345 North Rd, Saint Louis, MO 63125. The event includes both an in-person course described as scenic and tree lined and a virtual 5K option.
The event partners with The Kaufman Fund, a nonprofit that supports veterans and their families across the St. Louis region. The Kaufman Fund provides services such as mental health support, housing assistance, food programs, dental care, and educational resources. Proceeds and participation are intended to support that work.
Virtual participants may run or walk a 5K on their own schedule. Virtual entries receive a commemorative medal, race shirt, and goody bag mailed to them. In-person registration includes a custom finisher medal, finisher t-shirt, and a custom race bib, and free photos are provided during the run.
Awards are given to the top three overall male and female finishers and medals are awarded to the top three male and female in multiple age groups from 10 and under through 70 plus. The event description notes volunteer opportunities and a referral program for registered participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
