Veterans Salute 10K

The Veterans Salute 10K is a patriotic running event held in Concord, North Carolina, starting on McCachern Boulevard near the Cabarrus County Parking Lot. The USATF-certified 10K course takes runners through scenic routes including the Greenway, Lawndale, Patton Avenue, and downtown Concord, finishing via the Downtown Connector. The event honors veterans and offers awards for overall top finishers, top veterans, and age group categories.

Alongside the 10K, there is a 5K and a 1-mile fun run. Participants registering by mid-October receive commemorative apparel, with the first 100 10K registrants earning a hoodie. The race fosters a respectful and community-focused atmosphere celebrating those who served the nation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
