Military Matters VeteRUN 5K Run/Walk

Welcome to the Annual Military Matters VeteRUN 5k!

Anyone can run/walk in support of Military Matters! We will be hosting multiple organizations who support our local veterans, and will have fun family activities available for all who attend. Proceeds from the 5k will go to Military Matters, a program that fills the gap in legal services to military service members and veterans. To learn more about the program visit militarymatterskc.org.

Racecourse

We have updated the race course to be the same start/end point to ensure better accuracy of your race times. Please take caution if you plan to run/walk with a stroller or wheelchair as the route is typical sidewalk-width.

T-Shirts & Swag

We hope to be able to provide each participant with a t-shirt, however please be understanding if we run out. Thank you to our sponsors! Presenting Sponsors Bounds Law LLC Gold Sponsors TBD Silver Sponsors Reed Automotive Group Stout Law, LLC Bronze Sponsor BCLP Stephaine M. Smith, Chartered
