About

MTTWM - Veterans 5k takes place at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 7, 2026. The distance is a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8 a.m., offered both as a timed race and as an untimed memorial walk on the same course.

Having a walk option alongside the timed event means you can decide how hard to go without committing months in advance. Proceeds benefit Friends of Michigan Veterans Homes, Inc., and a community pancake breakfast follows, free for participants and discounted for everyone else. For runners treating it as a race, an 8 a.m. start in November calls for arriving early enough to warm up thoroughly, since cold muscles and a fast opening mile rarely go together well.
