Race Information
Held in scenic Westport, Connecticut along Sherwood Island State Park with sweeping views of Long Island Sound, the Honor Our Veterans 5K brings together runners and walkers of all ages to support U.S. veterans experiencing homelessness.

Originating as a tribute, the event encourages participants to stride or stroll in solidarity, celebrate service, and give back to the veteran community.
