Celebrate Veterans 5K 2026

The Celebrate Veterans 5K is a run/walk in Pierce County on the Pipeline/Orange Trail, starting at 84th and Pipeline Road. It begins in the morning, with race-day packet pickup before the start, and the distance is a straightforward 5K for runners and walkers rather than a long-distance race. The event is built around honoring service members and remembering Americans still missing in action. It partners with Project Recover, a group that works to locate and bring home missing American service members, and the race points to the roughly 81,000 who remain unaccounted for.
