Vets Day 5K & 10K

The Vets Day 5K & 10K is a running event held at English Landing Park in Parkville, Missouri, offering both 5K and 10K distances with an 8:00 AM start. It is designed for a range of participants, including regular runners, walkers, teams, and competitive age-group runners. The race commemorates Ed Burnham, a dedicated local runner, World War II veteran, and VFW employee. All finishers will receive a custom medal. Participants have the option to purchase a long-sleeve event shirt, and top finishers compete for overall and age-group awards. Teams of four or more are eligible for discounted registration. A portion of the proceeds benefits the VFW Foundation, supporting deployed troops, U.S. military families, and veterans who are often overlooked.
