**NO DAY OF RUN SIGN-UPS
Morgan Hill Veterans Day Run
Honor our nation’s heroes by joining Operation Freedom Paws for the Annual Veterans Day 5K/10K Walk/Run and 1-mile children's run. This meaningful event raises vital funds for OFP’s mission to match service dogs with veterans and others living with disabilities.
Take a moment to run or walk with these brave men and women, thank them for their sacrifices, and support a life-changing cause.
Please consider sponsoring the Run
You or your business will be added to the Veterans Day Run website with a link to your website. Your logo will appear on the back of the annual Veterans Day Run T-shirt and on the start/finish line banner. Following the event, we will send a thank you letter for your support.
All race proceeds benefit Operation Freedom Paws. We look forward to seeing you in Morgan Hill!
We are proud to partner with

The very special therapeutic canine-human relationship helps them get back out in their communities and begin to view their future with renewed hope.
