Home Stretch 5K
The Home Stretch 5K for Homeless and At-Risk Vets is a charitable running event held in Melbourne, Florida, at Eau Gallie Square. This 5-kilometer race supports the National Veterans Homeless Support (NVHS) mission to eliminate homelessness among veterans in Central Florida. Participants can register individually, as teams, or in a special category for active military and veterans.
The event features perks such as race shirts and finisher medals for the first 500 runners, post-race beer for adults, raffles, and music by DJ Yves. Awards are given across various categories, including overall, masters, teams, and age groups. The race also offers a challenge medal for those running a paired 5K event the day before.
