DAV (Disabled American Veterans) holds its 10th Annual DAV 5K at The Banks on Saturday, Nov. 5. The DAV 5K is a run, roll, walk and motorcycle ride that thanks those who served and raises awareness of the issues that ill and injured veterans face every day.
The organization also has a virtual DAV 5K, which can be completed any time from Nov. 5–30, which allows participants to show support for veterans from anywhere across the globe. Register for the virtual event.
DAV’s national headquarters are in Erlanger, and the organizations' National Commander will be in town for the race, one week before American honors those who served on Veterans Day.
“For the tenth year running, we are looking forward to honoring our veterans in Cincinnati and around the globe with our hybrid DAV 5K events,” said DAV CEO Marc Burgess. “The DAV 5K event continues to spread our message to honor the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes throughout America. Your support helps us serve more veterans, at no cost to them, and allows veterans the opportunity to live their lives with the respect and dignity they deserve.”
There will also be a virtual ceremony on Saturday at 11 a.m. to celebrate participants of DAV 5K with special guest video tributes. The program will be live-streamed on DAV5K.org and facebook.com/DAV5K.
The DAV 5K is presented by DAV and supported by Humana and USAA.
