AUTUMN OUTINGS | FALL 2021
7th Annual Granite City
5K Run/Walk for Veterans
The 7th Annual Granite
City 5K Run/Walk for
Veterans, a hybrid event
this year, is to be completed
by November 6th, 2021.
The event, with sponsors
such as 802 Cars, Absolute
Spill Response, Community
National Bank, and Metro
Development, LLC., is to
raise awareness of the many
challenges that veterans
endure, with a focus this
year on homelessness.
Proceeds of this event will
go to the Veterans’ Place,
Inc. in Northfield, Vermont
to support transitional housing
and other services for
our most vulnerable veterans.
This event is presented
by the Sons of the American
Legion Squadron #10 and
Barre Elks Lodge #1535
with support from the Barre
Partnership.
Registration is open for
race participants online at
https://legacy.imathlete.
com/events/GC5k2021. A
silent auction will be held
online for the week leading
up to the in-person race on 6th.
