Organiser's Description
The 22nd annual Run for Freedom 5K and 10K, sponsored by the West Central Missouri Veterans Assistance League (VAL), will be at 8 a.m. Sept. 21 at the Missouri Veterans Home in Warrensburg. Runners from all over West Central Missouri and Eastern Kansas participate in this event to help enhance the lives of the veterans who live at the Missouri Veterans Home in Warrensburg.
The event offers a 5K and 10K run that is USATF certified and uses a professional timing company to document running times.
Medals are presented to the top three finishers in each age category for the run by the veterans who live at the home. They love being able to give back to those who are instrumental in making the final chapters of their lives better.
Proceeds will go towards programs that improve the quality of our veterans' lives. In 2023, we were able to purchase a Tovertafel for our Alzheimer's unit, bring the American Veterans Traveling Tribute exhibit to the home, take a group of veterans on an overnight trip to Branson, bring in a variety of special meals like steak, shrimp and lobster, host a weekly hour with live entertainment and so much more.
This is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those who have done so much for our freedom and for our country. Come Run for Freedom!
