Union, Missouri (United States of America) - "Piggyback Dash 10K, 5K, 2K". All proceeds benefit The Lance Purschke Memorial Scholarship Fund. Join us for the 10th Annual Piggyback Dash, a chip-timed 10K and 5K run, and a 2K fun run/walk. This unique race takes you on a rolling course through Union with a challenging, but rewarding finish at the top of Autumn Hill. As part of the inspiration behind the race, runners can voluntarily carry someone piggyback style up Autumn Hill to the finish line for extra finisher swag. Why the Name? Throughout high school, Lance and friends would run almost everyday after dismissal. He routinely ran up Autumn Hill. Lance loved the hill and the challenge it presented. He never complained about it. Instead, he was the voice of encouragement for others to rise to the challenge. In fact, he is the first person we know of to carry someone piggyback up the hill. Hence the race name, The Piggyback Dash. https://www.piggybackdash.com/Race/Events/MO/Union/PiggybackDash?aflt_token=Nktw0AUB3nF4FPeh7Y7AWqQewFdw9sGt

St. Louis, Missouri (United States of America) - "Veterans Appreciation Run". The Veterans Appreciation Run is a chance for people of all ages and abilities to express their gratitude. Whether you're a dedicated runner or simply looking to enjoy a meaningful day with friends and family, we invite you to stand with us in support of those who have given so much. Rather than partnering with a single organization, we are using the funds you raise to sponsor veteran events across the St. Louis region throughout the year; meaning, your registration does double duty. It allows us to stand alongside multiple causes, show up where veterans gather, and give directly to the missions doing the work, while keeping every dollar accountable to the community it serves. When you run with us, you are not backing one cause for one day. You are helping fuel a year-round effort to honor those who served and to make sure no veteran stands alone. https://runsignup.com/Race/MO/SaintLouis/VeteransAppreciationRun?aflt_token=Nktw0AUB3nF4FPeh7Y7AWqQewFdw9sGt
