1st Annual Skagit Veterans Fun Run

Honoring All Who Served!

Lace up your running shoes and join American Legion Memorial Post 91 for the 1st Annual Skagit Veterans Fun Run on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in beautiful Burlington, Washington!

This special community event invites runners, walkers, families, and supporters of all ages to come together in recognition of Veterans Day while supporting local veterans throughout Skagit County.

Whether you're an experienced runner or simply looking to enjoy a meaningful morning with family and friends, everyone is welcome to participate!

Choose Your Distance:

• 2-Mile Fun Run/Walk
