About the event
Join us for our 3rd annual run, and our 1st official 5K timed race on the property of the Michigan Veteran Home at Chesterfield. Enjoy the beautiful grounds of our heroes home as well as our favorite mascots, Emma, and Charlie our beautiful bald eagles. You can view them as you enter the race but remember to please respect their space from the road only. Approaching them too close will make them want to leave their nest, and that would be sad for our veterans.
This walk/run event is for people of all abilities! All proceeds from this event will be deposited in the charitable support fund at Michigan Veteran Homes at Chesterfield Township, supporting quality of life programs, activities, outings and so much more for our veterans.
Remembrance WalkNot a runner? No problem. This event is for you too! Sign up to walk with our heroes in a .5-mile loop of remembrance around the home. Spend the time thanking a veteran for their service and sacrifice to our great nation. Have fun, dress up and show your patriotism, high five a veteran or you can sign up as a volunteer to push one of our veterans in the walk as well. (See volunteer link)
Either way, you get a commemorative finisher medal for your support and get to meet some awesome heroes, families, and staff from the home.
