Description

                     Join us for our 4th annual salute to our Veterans - Veterans Day Weekend!

We invite you to run or walk at the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs complex in Rocky Hill CT. We have chosen 3 miles - a true American Distance. The looping course features a scenic viewpoint when you get to the top campus. We encourage all abilities to join us!  Great shirts and swag will be given out but make sure you pre-register in time to guarantee sizing.

Net proceeds raised will be donated to AT&T Veterans ERG of CT/New England, Connecticut Veterans Base Camp and Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs that will support veterans outreach programs throughout Connecticut and New England.

 

*The 3 mile distance race and 3 mile walk event will be timed.
