CT Veterans Day Race

We are excited to announce the 10th anniversary of the CT Veterans Day Race, and we invite you to join us in the celebration.  Organized by an all-volunteer team of veterans and patriotic citizens, the event raises funds to support local Veteran Service Organizations and veterans in need, including homeless veterans. The organizers invite community members and businesses to participate as sponsors, volunteers, or participants to help support the Connecticut veteran community.

This year’s event is on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Patriots Park in Coventry, CT.  Many military men and women need a “battle buddy,” someone who always has your back, to help navigate through their transition to civilian life.  In addition to financial donations, we collect non-perishable food items on race day for veteran food pantries, as well as essential daily items—such as new hats, gloves, socks and toiletries—for homeless veterans. We also welcome in-kind donations from your business that will be included in the swag bags for the participants.
