About the Sweat For The Vets 5K Run/Walk
The course runs on the Lakeside Trail at Steele Creek Park, starting near Shelter G. As the name suggests, the trail follows the water, so the surroundings are wooded and quiet. The race benefits Stop Soldiers Suicide, a charity focused on veteran mental health, and that mission gives the morning a purposeful, serious undertone.
