 The Veterans Day 5K is a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, now known as Veterans Day, and it's honoring the World War Memorial here in Columbia that was built in 1935. It's a joint venture between the Student Government at USC and the Student Veterans Association. It's going to be on November 10th at 8 o'clock in the morning, starting at the Long Street Theater right there, Sumpter & Green, and finishing at the World War Memorial at Sumpter & Pendleton. You can just go to StrictlyRunning.com and click on registration and enter the event there. It's $20 per runner. It's $10 for military students and children under 12. Includes a t-shirt and your registration, get your bib with a chip so it'll be electronically timed. There will be awards at the end. Everyone's invited, tell your friends, there's no age limit or specific. I mean, anybody that wants to come and run is more than welcome. We encourage it, the more the better. All the proceeds from this event are going to benefit the Friends of Fisher House right here in Columbia, South Carolina. The Fisher House Foundation provides lodging and sometimes transportation expenses for the families of veterans and military personnel when their loved one has an overnight or extended-state procedure at the VA. And so we're trying to bring one right here to Columbia. The Dorn VA services over 110,000 veterans. I believe that's the current number and there's no Fisher House. The Dorn VA has already committed a plot of land on the Dorn VA campus for Fisher House. Our local chapter just has to raise half of the money and the National Fisher House Foundation will match dollar for dollar. And we'll get that built and once it's built and the VA takes over and makes sure those families have somewhere to stay while their loved one is in the hospital. For those who maybe are interested in helping this cause and can't make it out or can't, you know, run or don't want to run or what have you, we've also got a graphic up on our Facebook page that has a text to donate feature and they can also go to the Fisher House website, www.FisherHouseColumbiaSC.org and donate directly to the Fisher House. When passersby or drivers, you know, they see the lane closure and then they see the group running by and the flags are flying and they're being carried and it just, you know, people honk and people shout and they wave and it's just great to feel that support and to be a part of it. Come support our troops, come support our veterans. It's not, I mean, an overly competitive 5K run, walk, whatever you want to do. You know, grab your t-shirt and walk from the start line just to the finish line if that's what you want to do. You know, just to support this great cause and veterans in this area, you know, it's just, it'll be a good time. It's going to be November 15th, 8 o'clock in the morning. That's when we're starting the run, so, you know, get there early right at the corner of Sumter and Green right there at the Longstreet Theater and finishing at the World War Memorial.
