This one is for the dogs! That's right, this year we are going to be running the course with our furry friends. Bring out your pups and help us honor the four-legged fighters who have served the country, the military working dogs. While the military working dogs have served in combat with our troops in every major conflict since the founding of our nation, it wasn't until WWII that they were officially recognized.

Lace up not only your own running shoes, but your dogs too and be a part of this inspiring event that honors our veterans. As you navigate the scenic course, you'll traverse tree-lined paths and tranquil stretches, all while surrounded by the rich history of Jefferson Barracks Park. This park, which has stood witness to countless stories of courage and sacrifice, provides a fitting environment to commemorate those who have served and continue to serve.
The Veterans Appreciation Run is more than just a standard 5k: it's a demonstration of unity and respect for our servicemen and women. Runners of all levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes, are encouraged to participate as this event is about coming together as a community to express our gratitude.
Dogs are not required for entry into this race.
