City of Burton Parks & Rec Veterans Honor Run 2026

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.
