The Veterans Day 5K is one of three events over Veterans Day weekend to honor, raise awareness, and financially benefit veterans in Macon-Bibb and Middle Georgia. The second event is the fourth annual Veterans Day Parade on Sunday, November 10, 2024, in Downtown Macon. The third event is the second annual Veterans Day Golf Tournament at River North Country Club on Monday, November 11, 2024.

A portion of funds raised over the weekend will support the Georgia Department of Veterans Service Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping Middle-Georgia veterans stay in their homes by assisting with utilities, mortgage or rent, and home repairs.
