AZ Veterans Day Run

AZ Veterans Day Run is held in Peoria, Arizona, on November 14, 2026. The program covers a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K run/walk, a 5K run/walk and a one-mile run/walk, all on the road, so participants can enter at whatever level suits them and walkers are explicitly included.

The run/walk framing matters. If you are returning to running or starting out, a walk-run strategy over the 5K or the one-mile is a legitimate way to take part, not a lesser version of it. Runners with more mileage behind them can treat the half as their late-season goal, built over roughly 12 weeks around a weekly long run. Start times are not published in the event data, so confirm yours with the organizer before you plan your morning, and give yourself a margin for parking and packet pickup on the day.
