The 7th annual Granite City 5K Run/Walk for Veterans, a hybrid event this year, is to be completed by November 6th, 2021.

The event raises 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.

We are looking for support from the Northfield Community in the form of participation and donations.

Registration is open for race participants online at: https://legacy.imathlete.com/events/GC5k2021 You can also order a T-shirt and make a donation online.
