Faith and Freedom 5K

Race Overview

Bob's Vets of Highlands County is excited to announce our first Veteran's Day 5K RUN/WALK (Faith and Freedom 5K) this fall. We have been trying to think of more fun and unique ways to celebrate our veterans and since Highlands County is known for their love of running, we thought a 5K would be a great idea. Our event will be held at Highlands Hammock State Park on Saturday November 8th at 8:00 AM.

About Us

Bob's Vets of Highlands County is a faith-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing all-expense-paid hunting, fishing, and kayaking trips for disabled veterans. Our mission is to use the outdoors as a therapeutic tool to promote healing, restoration, and spiritual growth for veterans facing the challenges of their disabilities.

Our Mission

Through these adventures, we seek to honor their services, foster a sense of camaraderie, and encourage personal renewal in the beauty of God's creation. Our goal is to provide veterans with a transformative experience that nurtures their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
