The 7th annual Granite City 5K Run/Walk for Veterans, a hybrid event this year, is to be completed by November 6th, 2021. Registration is open for race participants online at:
https://legacy.imathlete.com/events/GC5k2021.
The event (with sponsors such as 802 Cars, Absolute Spill Response, Community National Bank, Metro Development, LLC., Rock of Ages, and Vermont Mutual) is to raise awareness of the many challenges that Veterans endure, with a focus this year on homelessness. Proceeds of this event will go to the Veterans' Place, Inc. in Northfield, Vermont to support transitional housing and other services for our most vulnerable Veterans. This event is presented by the Sons of the American Legion Squadron #10 and Barre Elks Lodge #1535 with support from the Barre Partnership.
A silent auction will be held online for the week leading up to the in-person race on 6th. More information will be available on that shortly.
