Veterans Appreciation Run
The Veterans Appreciation Run is a community 5K event held on November 15, 2026, at Jefferson Barracks Park in Saint Louis, Missouri. The run supports Go Forth Racing by using registration funds to sponsor veteran events across the St. Louis region throughout the year.
The course is described as scenic and tree-lined and the park is noted for its military history. The event is presented as an opportunity for people of various ages and abilities to gather in honor of military service and to support multiple veteran-focused activities and missions in the region.
Event services include packet pick-up, a pre-race ceremony and a national anthem, and an awards ceremony following the race. Award recipients must be present to receive awards; awards will not be mailed. Registration opens May 7, 2026, and closes on November 15, 2026. The stated registration fee is $40.00.
The organizer emphasizes that funds raised will be distributed to support a year-round effort across the region rather than a single organization, with the aim of providing direct support where veterans gather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
