Concord To Host Run For Heroes 5K Race

Organizers say the challenging and fun course was designed to honor the hard work and sacrifices endured by U.S. military personnel. The race proceeds will benefit veterans attending Concord University. The Concord Office of Veterans says this will help veterans attend college.

The Office of Veteran Services (OVS) at Concord University will be hosting the “Run For Heroes 5K Race” for the first time since 2014. The race will be held at Callaghan Stadium at Concord’s Athens campus. 

At 9 a.m., there will be a moment of silence for fallen soldiers and injured veterans. Immediately after that, the race will begin.

“Student veterans are often non-traditional, juggling a family, work and school. The OVS assists veterans and their dependents in all facets of higher education, from application and academics to financial and social support,” George Williams, Concord’s Veterans Advocate, said. 

Participants who pre-register will receive a discount and are guaranteed a race shirt.
