No Veteran Left Behind 5K Walk/Run

No Veteran Left Behind 5K Walk/Run is held in Bluffdale, Utah, on October 24, 2026. The morning opens with a 1-mile kids dash at 8 a.m., followed by the 5K run and walk at 8:30 a.m. Both distances are open to runners and walkers, so a family can enter together and still finish within a few minutes of one another.

That half-hour gap between starts is enough for parents to watch the kids finish and still warm up for their own race: jog easy for ten minutes once the dash is done and you will be ready. For the 5K itself, expect to spend 20 to 40 minutes on your feet depending on pace, while walkers should budget closer to 45. If this is your first bib, run the opening mile slower than feels right and you will almost certainly finish faster overall.
