Wreaths of Honor 5K Run/Walk
Hosted by Riverview Memorial Park Cemetery
Join us for the Wreaths of Honor 5K, a meaningful run/walk, where we come together to honor the brave men and women who served our country. With nearly 900 veterans laid to rest on these peaceful grounds, our mission is to ensure each one is remembered with a wreath placed at their grave this Christmas season.
Every race entry helps fund the purchase of wreaths through Wreaths Across America, with a heartfelt goal: a wreath for every veteran. Together, step by step, we can make it happen.
All participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a finisher medal as a thank you for supporting this special cause.
Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your support brings us closer to honoring every hero this holiday season.
