Join us for the Mantua VFW Live and Virtual 5K & 1 Mile "Running for Vets" event on Sunday, October 5, 2025, in the picturesque town of Mantua, Gloucester. This exciting community event offers a 5K run and a 1-mile walk, both starting and finishing at the Mantua VFW. Participants will enjoy a scenic route through the beautiful Chestnut Branch Park, making it a perfect outing for runners and walkers of all ages.

After the race, everyone is invited back to the Mantua VFW Post 7679 for a festive post-race celebration, complete with an awards ceremony, refreshments, a delicious luncheon, and age-appropriate complimentary beverages. With categories for various age groups and ribbons awarded to all 1-mile finishers, this event promises fun for the entire family.
