Bell Ringer 2 Miler

In Loveland, Colorado, the Bell Ringer 2 Miler links a short race at North Lake Park to the town’s Veteran’s Day bell-ringing tradition. Participants can choose between a two-mile footrace, a two-mile ruck division carrying weight, or a virtual two-miler. The in-person race begins in the morning, sponsored by Sweetheart City Racing as a community event honoring veterans. The route is designed as a straightforward two-mile run or ruck, not a long-distance challenge. Ruck participants are required to carry a pack with a 20-pound dry weight, and organizers verify pack weights. The race benefits Post 2000 and its Loveland Veteran’s Assistance program. The bell theme originates from Loveland’s distinction as the only U.S. city that rings bells across town in the early morning hours of Veteran’s Day. Supporters of Warrior Princess receive a discount code, linking the event to a local girls’ running group.
