Our Veterans Flag Day 5K and 1mile walk is one of our largest fundraisers of the year and all proceeds go directly to the veterans in our Hope for Veterans Program. When you run, walk or support, you help rescue over 1,200 Veterans and families from homelessness & despair. The fee to participate is $45 for each runner and $35 for each walker, $45 for virtual 5k. Participants who participate virtually can track their results using the Strava app.  Results, including time and distance will then be uploaded to Community Hope.
