You're invited to lead the charge this Veterans Day at Mitch Park in Edmond, OK. The festivities begin with the UCO Cologuard at 1:40 pm before "on your marks" at 1:55 PM for the Kid's One Mile Fun/Run and 2pm for the 5K. After earning your medal relax with Hideaway Pizza or snacks, beverages, inflatables, and live entertainment. Whether striving for your Personal Record or enjoying a leisurely family fall day stroll we hope this November 9th's celebration honors our warriors' love of country and willingness to serve. Our national security is a true testament for these heroes' service and the fact that ALL who served (not only those who have passed) have sacrificed and done their duty. The event is great for the whole family from strollers to grandparents, and dog friendly for well-socialized pups on a leash. Last year our youngest runner was 9 and our oldest 80, times also ranged from 20 minutes to 65 minutes. Prizes will be awarded for top 3 male and female finishers as well as the fastest (1 mile) kid's team (4+ friends designated before race time). All welcome!



Participants will receive a shirt, medal & swag.
