Organiser's description

The 13th Annual Spencer C. Duncan Make It Count Virtual 5K is coming up on Veterans Day Weekend (11/9/24 through 11/11/24)! This virtual run/walk has become a must do event in the running community across the country. Veterans run for free and can purchase a custom, Veteran designed t-shirt for only $10.00. Register your dog for an additional $10 and your pup will receive a Make It Count bandana! All proceeds (minus the costs of the 5K) go to help Veterans and their families in the areas of 1) starting or continuing their formal or vocational education, 2) treatment for PTSD, and 3) helping homeless Veterans get back on their feet, into the workforce, and regain self-sufficiency.

To receive your run packet with shirt, etc. before the event date, please register by October 30th! You can absolutely still register - and support Veterans - after October 30th (until November 11th), however you may not receive your packet and shirt until after the event.

Thank you very much for Making It Count!
