Salute to Veterans 5K and Bravo Mile

November 5, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am

$25 – $35

Join the Fredericksburg Nationals and the Fredericksburg Area Running Club for an exciting day in FXBG as we honor our veterans! This is our second year hosting the event, and we invite you to run all the way to home base – literally! Both races will finish on the field in the stadium, where your friends and family can cheer you on as you cross the finish line on the scoreboard. But that’s not all! There will also be yard games and crazy contests, military displays to check out, and opportunities to snap some pictures with Gus, the FredNats mascot. Follow us on FB & Instagram @runfarc for updates on more surprises in store.

All profits from the race will be donated to the Team RWB Fredericksburg Chapter, a fantastic nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans through physical and social activity. We are thrilled to support this worthy organization and can’t wait to see these “Eagles” out on the course! For more information about Team RWB, click on the Charity link below.

The Bravo Mile will begin at 9:30am, followed by the 5K at 10:00am, so you can sleep in a little and make it a day at the ballpark with your loved ones. Here are a few reasons why you should join us:

Plenty of parking and onsite restrooms
Family-friendly event
Flat, Fast USATF Certified Course
Custom shirts and finisher medals
Lots of prizes, food, and games
Awards for top finishers with a special military category
Discounts for members of the military and Fredericksburg Area Running Club members

Please note that current military ID must be shown at packet pickup for military discounts, and shirt sizes cannot be guaranteed if registering after October 15th. We will have extra shirts at packet pickup, so be sure to come early before they run out.
