Strides For Service 5k/10k

Join us for a powerful morning of remembrance, gratitude, and community at the Strides for Service: Veterans 5K — a race dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who have served our country. Set against the scenic backdrop of Saunders Springs Nature Preserve, this event offers participants a chance to run, walk, or jog in tribute to our veterans, with every step echoing appreciation and respect.

Whether you're racing for a loved one, supporting a cause, or simply showing up in solidarity, this 5K is more than a run — it's a movement. Expect patriotic vibes, local veteran tributes, and a finish line celebration that brings the heart of America together.

All ages and fitness levels are welcome. Strollers, service dogs, and flags encouraged. Proceeds benefit Saunders Spring Nature Preserve.

This course is on the trails. There maybe portions of the trail that have leaves and twigs. 

Let’s lace up, show up, and run with purpose. 

We will have a tv setup to scroll through a slideshow for veterans if you would like to add your veteran to the slideshow please send the photo and anything you would like to say with it to: openroadracemanagement@gmail.com
