About the Valor Ranch Runnin’ For Home 5k

The race supports Valor Ranch, an organization that provides housing and services for homeless veterans. Dogs are welcome on the course, so expect some four-legged company along the way. The event draws people who are there as much to show up for veterans as to run, and that purpose is pretty clear from the atmosphere.

The event is described as family and dog friendly, so the start area tends to be busy in a welcoming way. Beyond that, logistics like parking and packet pickup were not detailed by the organizer, so it is worth checking closer to race day.
