Feed a Veteran 5K

Feed a Veteran 5K is held at Old Hickory Golf Course in Woodbridge, Virginia, on November 7, 2026. The 5K (3.1 miles) starts at 8 a.m. and a one-mile fun run and walk follows at 8:10 a.m. The event supports homeless veterans, raising money for meals, winter survival kits and suicide prevention programs, and participants can help assemble those meals and kits after they finish. The race is professionally timed, with awards by age group.

Two start times ten minutes apart make this an easy event to attend as a group, with the mile available to anyone not ready to race three miles. For the 5K, a month of running three times a week is enough; if you already race, treat November as a good window for a fast short effort while the weather cooperates.
