Military Matters VeteRUN 5K Run/Walk

Welcome to the Annual Military Matters VeteRUN 5k!

Inclusivity: Anyone can run/walk in support of Military Matters! We will be hosting multiple organizations who support our local veterans, and will have fun family activities available for all who attend.

Proceeds: Proceeds from the 5k will go to Military Matters, a program that fills the gap in legal services to military service members and veterans. To learn more about the program visit militarymatterskc.org.

Racecourse: See below for a map of the racecourse. PLEASE NOTE: We have updated the race course to be the same start/end point to ensure better accuracy of your race times. Please take caution if you plan to run/walk with a stroller or wheelchair as the route is typical sidewalk-width.

T-Shirts & Swag: PLEASE NOTE: We hope to be able to provide each participant with a t-shirt, however please be understanding if we run out.

Thank you to our sponsors!
