Veterans Day 5K

The Veterans Day 5K is a Morgan Hill run and walk honoring those who have served or are serving in the U.S. armed forces. Participants can choose between a 5K or 10K run/walk, with a 1-mile children's run available for families. Advance registration is required, as no sign-ups are permitted on race day. The race directly supports Operation Freedom Paws, with all proceeds benefiting the organization. Operation Freedom Paws matches service dogs with veterans and individuals with disabilities. Therefore, the event serves as both a local Veterans Day observance and a fundraiser for this specific support program. Sponsors are also featured on race day, with their logos displayed on the event website, the back of the T-shirt, and the start/finish banner.
