Speed has nothing to do with your chances, just LUCK!

The 5k course will not only have a crowd-friendly finish on the Bedford High School track, but the 1mile walk is exclusively on the TRACK. The 5k course includes the Indian Creek Park, gravel, but no street crossings. The Bedford Community Stadium bathroom facilities will be available throughout the event.

Our mission for this race is to create awareness of our volunteer Veteran services and increase our reach to support more local veterans and their families! Give veterans and active duty an evening of free racing/walking/camaraderie.

We want our community to know we are here, HERE to HELP!

The Bedford Veterans Center was founded in 2017 and actively creates solutions that solve the problems our Veterans face. Some services we provide are a place of support, appointments with Veteran Service Officers to discuss benefits/claims, readily available food pantry AND monthly food distributions serving over 35 veterans/families, and free round trips to medical appointments to the Toledo and Ann Arbor VA.

Email [email protected] with questions and sponsor inquiries. For guide registration (there is no fee! Use GUIDE (code).

We ask you to consider *no shirt option if you prefer not to get one-this savings goes back to our veterans/volunteer center. Thanks!

    REGISTER BEFORE MAY 11TH AND RECEIVE 4 ADDITIONAL WEEKS OF BASE TRAINING TO HAVE YOU GOING STRONG WHEN THE OFFICIAL PROGRAM KICKS OFF ON JUNE 8TH

    BEGINNER 5K & HALF-MARATHON PLANS AS WELL AS RUN-WALK OPTION

    Looking to run your first 5K? With Dave's Beginner 5K program, you have a detailed plan that mixes walking and running together until you are out there running 3.1 miles on your own.

    If you are someone who prefers to run-walk, we have a half-marathon plan with coaches who train using a run-walk training method for the half-marathon distance. This "open pace" training plan is also used for anyone looking to complete their first marathon, and goal time is not a factor.

    REMOTE TRAINING OPTION (online)

    The Training Tilt app has been such a game-changer for our remote trainers that we’re now making it an option for everyone in the program! One of its standout features is the interactive training calendar, which lets you sync your Strava account or Garmin device to keep your workouts organized and on track.

    The Dave's REMOTE TRAINERS will receive weekly coaching advice and encouragement from Dave's Training Team on the Training Tilt platform.
