Veterans Day 4K XC Race
The Northport Running Club presents the 44th Annual Veterans Day 4K Cross Country Race. The race will be held at Sunken Meadow State Park.
Proceeds from this race support the hospitalized and homeless veterans on Long Island. Last year's race proceeds were used to purchase weight training equipment for the physical therapy department at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Northport. We also made a donation to the United Veterans Beacon House, an organization that assists veterans with housing, employment, nutrition and legal services.
Veterans are encouraged to wear their dog tags! We will set up a table to display commemorative flags of deceased veterans. If you have one, please bring it for our honor table.
