Join the NVHS 6th Annual Homestretch 5K in Eau Gallie on November 12, 2023 and run for a great cause! This fun event supports homeless veterans in our community and offers you a chance to show your solidarity and generosity. Whether you are a seasoned runner or a beginner, you can enjoy the scenic views of the Indian River from the Eau Gallie Causeway. You will also receive a race kit that includes a medal, a T-shirt, and a goodie bag. Plus, you can join the post-race celebration with live music and beer from Grills, and a discounted (or free if a veteran 🙂 ) buffet breakfast at Pineapples Eau Gallie across the street!
If you are not a runner, but still want to support this event, you can become a sponsor or a volunteer. Sponsors will get exclusive exposure and recognition on our website, social media, and event materials. Volunteers will get to help with various tasks such as registration, water stations, cheering, and cleanup.
Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of homeless veterans and have a blast at the same time. Register now!
