OktoberVets 5k Fun Run
Saturday, October 17, 2026, 1000 - 1200
North Kingstown VFW Post 152 is hosting its annual OktoberVets 5k Fun Run again! This will be a family friendly, fun community event that will bring together people of our community and veterans who have served our nation.
Proceeds from this event will go to Gateway to Independence, a VA-supported veteran transitional housing program for homeless individuals due to PTSD, substance abuse, depression, and other factors, serving over an average of 100 individuals annually. Proceeds will also benefit our Holiday Veteran in need program providing food and clothing for disadvantaged local veterans.
Enjoy a 5k and a .152k fun run through historic Wickford Village, named 2022 Best Historic Small Town in America by USA Today. Established in 1709, Wickford Village provides picturesque waterfront streets with one-of-a-kind shops featuring jewelry, housewares, clothing, and more. Your run will take you past galleries, antique shops, cafes, restaurants, beautifully maintained churches, colonial homes, and gardens. All race participants will be given a T-shirt with a unique, specially designed race logo, a race medal, and a 'goodie' bag with assorted swag.
