VETERUN 5K

Celebrate Veterans Day in the friendly town of Warrenton, Georgia.  Start the day by running in the second annual VETERUN 5K, presented by and benefiting Reese-Hyman Post 96 of the American Legion.  Then stay and enjoy Hometown Warrenton's annual Sportsmen's Festival. 

The VETERUN 5K takes you through residential neighborhoods and the scenic downtown of historic Warrenton.  The course is out-and-back on paved and level streets.  Snacks and water will be available.

Packet pick-up begins at 8:00.  Parking is south of Legion Drive near the Sportsmen's Festival.

The registration fee is $25.  Special prices are available for youth, veterans and service members.  Register online or see the event Facebook page for a mail-in form.

T-shirts are not guaranteed for registrations after October 15 or on race-day.  Shirts will be given only while the supply lasts.

Awards will be given for the top three male/female finishers, and for the top three males/females in each age category.  Age groups are 13 & under, 14-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80 & over.

In addition, there will be a drawing from all participants to receive a gift certificate from Fleet Feet Augusta, a one-month membership from the Thomson YMCA, or a package of car-cleaning products from Advance Auto Parts Thomson.

The 2018 VETERUN 5K is sponsored by First State Bank and Culpepper Lumber.
