Join Us for the Veteran’s Run: Tribridge 10K Challenge, Veterans 5K, and K9 Run!
On November 9th, 2024, the Jacksonville Naval Museum, in collaboration with the Veteran’s Run Foundation, will host a special race event to honor and support our nation’s veterans. The event begins at 8:00 AM at 610 E Bay St, at the Old Shipyard Pier 1. The race day is designed to accommodate everyone, from competitive athletes to families and even their canine companions.
The Veteran’s Run Foundation is at the heart of this event, dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of veterans and their families. Founded with the mission of raising awareness and generating support for veterans’ causes, the foundation organizes events like the Tribridge 10K Challenge to bring communities together in honor of those who have served. Through these races, the foundation not only promotes physical health and well-being but also fosters a sense of unity and appreciation for veterans’
sacrifices. By partnering with local organizations like the Jacksonville Naval Museum, the Veteran’s Run Foundation ensures that these events are more than just races—they are opportunities for the community to engage with and give back to the veteran population. Whether through participation or donations, each contribution helps to improve the lives of those who have served, making the foundation’s work a critical component in honoring the legacy and service of our nation’s heroes.
The Tribridge 10K Challenge takes runners across three iconic Jacksonville bridges, while the Veterans 5K offers a shorter, yet challenging course. Dog lovers can join the 1K9 Run with their pets, with patriotic costumes encouraged. Special competitions include the SK High School Team Competition, and discounted entry is available for active-duty military, veterans, and their families. Early registration is recommended, as race-day fees increase to $50.
This event is not just about racing; it is a celebration of the strength, resilience, and sacrifice of our veterans. Participation helps raise vital funds for veterans’ programs while showing gratitude for their service. Whether running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, the Tribridge 10K Challenge, Veterans 5K, and K9 Run serve as a meaningful opportunity to bring the community together.
