Veterans Heritage Ridge Run Event - 10K Ruck Race

The Ridge Run is an annual fundraiser by the Veterans Heritage Site Foundation to support Sharps Ridge Veterans Memorial Park. The event begins at Lincoln Park Technology Trade School, 535 Chickamauga Ave. Participants tackle a looped, well-marked course on the Sharps Ridge trails, featuring wooded, hilly terrain.

Attendees choose from three options: a 5K timed trail run, a 1-mile family fun walk, and a 10K Ruck Race. Ample neighborhood parking and shuttle service help with access. Proceeds support park construction and maintenance, and the event often includes a JROTC competition.

Save the date: April 25, 2026, for local veterans programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
