Concord University announces Run for Heroes 5K Color Run & Walk

ATHENS, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The Concord University Office of Veteran Services will present its Run for Heroes Color Run & Walk 5K event this fall.

Scheduled for 9:00am on Sunday, October 12, 2024, the event will take place at Callaghan Stadium and will see participants finishing the 5K through blue and red clouds. Winners will be recognized with medals and other prizes.

Prior to the race, a moment of silence will be observed in honor of fallen soldiers and injured veterans. Proceeds earned from the event will go toward support of the Office of Veteran Services.
