About this race

A Race for Everyone – No Training Required!

Join us for the first annual VFW post 99.1 K fun run, a lighthearted “race” that’s only 0.1 km (about 328 feet) - Perfect for all ages and fitness levels! This family, friendly event is all about having fun, supporting veterans, and bringing the community together.

Whether you walk, jog, skip, or stroll, we’ll cross the “finish line” with a smile – and help raise funds for programs that support veterans and their families through the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) National Home and local initiatives. 

Come for the laughs, stay for the camaraderie, food, and festivities. Costumes, patriotic outfits, and a good sense of humor are highly encouraged!
