This year, the Veterans Appreciation Run supports Go Forth Racing directly as we take a new approach to serving our veteran community. Rather than partnering with a single organization, we are using the funds raised to sponsor veteran events across the St. Louis region throughout the year. That means your registration does double duty. It allows us to stand alongside multiple causes, show up where veterans gather, and give directly to the missions doing the work, while keeping every dollar accountable to the community it serves. When you run with us, you are not backing one cause for one day. You are helping fuel a year-round effort to honor those who served and to make sure no veteran stands alone.

Lace up your running shoes and meet us on Sunday, November 15 at Jefferson Barracks Park, a location rich in military history and a fitting place to gather in honor of those who have served. As you run or walk the scenic, tree-lined course, you’ll be part of a powerful community event that celebrates service, sacrifice, and unity.

The Veterans Appreciation Run is a chance for people of all ages and abilities to express their gratitude. Whether you’re a dedicated runner or simply looking to enjoy a meaningful day with friends and family, we invite you to stand with us in support of the men and women who have given so much.
