0

Student veteran organizations at the University of Evansville, University of Southern Indiana, and Ivy Tech Community College are proud to announce the first annual Vets Day 5K Walk, Run, Roll on Sunday, November 13 at 8:00 a.m.

The Vets Day 5K, a chip-timed race held during UE’s annual Homecoming weekend, will start and finish at the USS LST Ship Memorial grounds at 1801 Waterworks Road. The race route follows the Downtown riverfront, passes war memorials, and continues down the riverfront corridor of the greenway. Back at the LST 325, participants will gather for race results, awards, and a family festival with live music and food.

Race proceeds will benefit Lucas Place II, which provides housing and support services for homeless veterans with disabilities in Vanderburgh County.

All pre-registered participants receive a Vets Day 5K long-sleeve shirt, water and snacks, and discounted LST tickets (available for $8 each). Advance registration before November 1 is $20. Registration after November 1, including race day, is $25.
