OktoberVets 5k

The OktoberVets 5k, sponsored by the North Kingstown VFW, takes place in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. The 5K course weaves through historic Wickford Village, described as USA Today’s 2022 Best Historic Small Town in America, before finishing at the Town Docks on Brown Street. The event also offers a .152K fun run and a Virtual Runner option.

Participants receive a race tee with a unique logo, a medal, and a goodie bag, with bib numbers, timing, and water stations.
