About the race
The Veterans Race in Buffalo, NY, held at the Buffalo Naval and Military Park, is a commemorative running event honoring military service members. It features multiple race options including 5K and 10K distances for both civilians and veterans or active duty participants, a kids "Cadet" race for ages 2 to 8, and a non-timed 2-mile walk. The certified USATF courses are designed to celebrate and support veterans, with proceeds benefiting local veteran organizations like WNY Heroes and the Buffalo Naval Park.
The event includes age group awards, a post-race breakfast party, and the prestigious Edward S. Simmons Trophy awarded to the fastest veteran or active duty runner in the 5K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
