2nd Annual City of Valor Veterans Day Pancake Breakfast 2024 and 5k Run

Please join us for the second annual community wide Veterans Day Pancake Breakfast. All are welcome! Pancakes will be cooked fresh with all the toppings along with a coffee bar served free to the public. Donations are not required, and any received will be directed to the American Legion Post 107 to support them in their many efforts to serve the local veterans and the local community.

Leeds is proudly known as the City of Valor for being home to three Medal of Honor recipients. To pay tribute to our past and all those who have served, several local organizations and businesses are joining together to recognize all veterans and our community as a whole.

This day will start with a City of Valor 5k and 1 mile fun run!

Celebrate Veterans Day with the City of Valor 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run in Leeds, Alabama. Known as the City of Valor for its three Medal of Honor recipients, Leeds invites you to wear your most patriotic colors and run through its historic downtown streets. This run is more than just a race—it's a tribute to the brave veterans and all who have fought for our country. Join us in honoring their sacrifice and showing your support for the heroes in our community as we run together through the city that proudly carries their legacy.

Start time for both the 5k and the 1 Mile Fun Run is 8:00 a.m., and the two races will follow the same route for the first half mile.  There will be police officers, volunteers, and signs to ensure that the runners are aware of where the two routes split. The 5K race is chip timed. All Fun Run and 5k participants will receive a finishing medal.  This is a pet friendly race (leash required), and the race is stroller friendly.  Every participating runner will receive a long sleeve dry-fit shirt.

Schedule:
5K Start and 1 Mile Fun Run: 8:00 a.m.
Awards Ceremony: 9:30 a.m. with community-wide pancake breakfast to follow (10am-12pm)
