Veterans' Honor Run: 22 Hours of Tribute
The Veterans' Honor Run is a 22 hour remembrance event held at Heritage Park in Canton Township, Michigan. The event uses a set of hourly tributes to represent the estimated 20 to 22 veterans lost to suicide each day and combines continuous participation, fundraising, and community support.
Participation is flexible: entrants may run or walk at any pace, start or stop as needed, and complete as many loops of the paved park trail as they wish. The course loop is approximately 1 mile and allows breaks and independent pacing. In-person participants are chip timed; virtual participants must track their own mileage and submit results by November 10 for official credit. Veterans and active duty military may register free of charge using the VETERAN coupon code on the registration platform.
Event support includes a designated Base Camp area with space for tents in grass areas near parking, a well stocked aid station offering hot food, snacks, and coffee, participation gifts, and a special finisher award for those who complete the full 22 hours. Pacers and independent support crews are permitted under event guidelines. A headlamp or running light is mandatory for anyone on the course between dusk and dawn. The event proceeds are directed to selected veteran service organizations, with a 2026 fundraising goal of $22,000 for Guitars for Vets, Therapeutic Riding Inc., and Leashes of Valor. Parking is provided adjacent to the event area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
