Our Mission Statement:
The men and women who leave military service often leave behind a sense of community, purpose, and identity. The community they leave behind is their military community; the purpose they leave behind is what type of work their unit performed and the identity they leave is their specific role in their unit. It is difficult to replace those things as they transition into civilian life, so it is no wonder that veterans often feel marginalized.
The mission of the 4Star4Mile Race is to provide a platform for a shared experience between our communities and our veterans. For civilians, as they run alongside the annual Veterans Day parade, they see, and can feel, the immense pride and commitment of those who served and who continue to serve, and for the veterans they see that our communities recognize our proud history and applaud our commitment, helping to provide a true sense of community and purpose that veterans long for and deserve.
It is the hope of the 4Star4Mile Race that this provides for a mutually beneficial, supportive experience.
*This is a charitable event with proceeds going to the annual Detroit Veterans Day Parade.
The Veterans Honor Run is the final event in the Burton Race Series and a community tradition built around gratitude for those who served. While the Burton Memorial Day 5K focuses on remembrance, this event highlights active appreciation for veterans and their families. It is a chance to show support, stand together, and close out the season with purpose.
Participants run or walk a neighborhood route that winds through the local community. Whether you are pushing for a strong finish or enjoying an easy morning with friends, the Veterans Honor Run blends fitness, community pride, and the shared energy that makes race day special.
As the last stop in the Burton Race Series, VHR brings the year full circle. It is a meaningful way to celebrate the season, support those who served, and take the final steps to earn your BRS medal.
