Emporia Freedom Fest Run-Ride-Ruck
The Emporia Freedom Fest Run-Ride-Ruck is an annual event held in Emporia, Kansas, the founding city of Veterans Day, to honor veterans and their families. Taking place each November at the All Veterans Memorial, the festival features a variety of competitive and community events including a 5K run/walk, cycling rides, a disc golf tournament, a Norwegian foot march (ruck), and the Warrior Spur Challenge. The scenic course starts and ends at the memorial park along the Cottonwood River, which showcases military artifacts and honors veterans from multiple wars.
Proceeds support veteran causes such as care packages, scholarships, and memorials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
