Join us for this Fun Race! This is intended to be a full day of fun and a great way to help our local veterans.

After the race we will have a carnival with fun for all ages! With a dunk tank, games, food and more...

How much does it cost?

The entry fee is $20 if you pre-register and $25 on the day of the race, this gets you an entry into the race and your own race packet. An entry fee is not required to participate, but you would not receive a race packet without an entry fee.

If you have a whole family that you want to register you can do the family package, $60 gets you entry for up to 4 people. Each person would receive their own race packet.

This is a fundraiser to help the VFW raise money so that it can continue to help veterans in our community.

When and where is the race?

The race will take place on Saturday August 25, 2018 at 10:00 AM. The VFW post is located at 5344 Main Street in Springfield. Check in is at 09:30 AM.

Why .1K?

Why not? We wanted to create an event that anyone and everyone of all ages could participate in and complete. The .1K is meant to be fun without having to break a sweat!
We're putting on this whole thing to help veteran and military families.
Helping military and veteran families should not be difficult or painful.

Just how far is .1K?

.1K is one-tenth of a kilometer, 100 meters, about the length of our parking lot. It is a distance that anybody can finish. You can run, walk, hop, skip, jump, crawl, or dance and still finish the race. We believe everybody should race at their own pace.

What do I get for my entry fee?

You'll get a really cool T-shirt for the .1K fun run. You’ll get a 0.1 race window decal (like all of those other crazy marathon runners have), and you’ll get a numbered racing bib. You’ll get to participate in a really fun, outdoor event. You’ll get to tell your family, friends, and the IRS that you made a charitable donation. VFW #3965 is a 501(c)3++ organization and is fully eligible for tax-deductible donations.

Tickets are not required for participation in either the Run/Walk or the carnival, but entries without a paid entry fee will not receive the Race Packet.

Parking:

Please park across the street at the old Albertsons parking lot.
