Thank YOU for your service, participation and support!
The purpose of the Lampasas Veterans Day Run & Walk is threefold: honor our veterans, bring the community together, and raise money for a military-friendly non-profit. I believe we’ve accomplished this – but not without you!
With your help, we’ve raised over $4,000 for Camp Cowboy!
SPECIAL THANKS:
First and foremost, thank you to our United States veterans for the freedom and safety we enjoy today. God bless you for your service!
Volunteers, I could not have done it without you! I’ve been told I need a committee to plan this race, but you were there for me, and we pulled it off together. Thank you for your help. It would not have been possible without you!
Runners and Walkers, we could not have had this event without your participation. I hope you enjoyed it and will consider joining us again next year.
I’d like to call out a special thank you to COL Jen Robison, Retired Army, for delivering an eloquent and thoughtful tribute to our veterans. Thank you to Sheriff Jess Ramos for the emotional and inspiration prayer. And of course, Jenene Ahia, thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and singing the National Anthem for us, while our honorary Special Olympic runner, Louis Johnson held our cherished American Flag.
The City of Lampasas, TX and the Lampasas County Chamber of Commerce were also instrumental in ensuring this event was fully supported. Thank you!
Thanks be to God for a gloriously, beautiful day to run!

Runners and Walkers:
Thank you for registering for the Lampasas Veterans Day Run and Walk! As we prepare for the race next week, we wanted to share some important information.

We will be accepting online registrations until 7:30 a.m. race morning in case your friends or family decide they would like to join.
PARKING:
On race morning, we are asking that you DO NOT park around the courthouse, as this will impact the Farmer’s Market set up. Please use nearby street parking or the parking lot off of 4th and Elm Street, behind Dollar General and the Lampasas County Tax Assessor’s office.
FACILITIES:
Public bathrooms will be open on race morning. They are located in the alley between Dollar General and the Lampasas County Tax Assessor’s office.
There will also be some bleachers for those who would like to participate in the Veterans Day activities and cheer for our runners/walkers, so invite your family and friends.
COURSE SAFETY:
Although this is a timed event and we will have the es**rt of a patrol car, please note that the roads will NOT be closed. Please stay on the right side of the road and use sidewalks where possible (especially running back to the finish on Hackberry). Watch for cars and pay extra attention as you are crossing intersections.
We will have chalked the roads and arrow signs at the turns, and have a few volunteers to direct you where the route gets a little tricky. But please closely review the route before race day (see map below).
WATER, DRINKS & FOOD:
Before we start the run, or after if you prefer, stop by for some hot coffee, compliments of Alamo Coffee.
Thanks to First Bank of Texas, there will be a water stop at about 1.5 miles into the run/walk at Turner Field Park on Campbell St.
Also, thanks to HEB, there will be water and bananas at the start/finish line.
VETERANS CEREMONY:
At 7:45 a.m. on race morning, we will conduct a brief Veterans Ceremony, led by Jen Robison, retired Colonel and co-founder of Camp Cowboy, to thank our local veterans for their service. Sheriff Ramos will lead us in prayer, Jenene Ahia will sing the National Anthem, then the race will start at 8 a.m.
SPONSORS:
Please join us in thanking our sponsors, as this event would not happen without them. We genuinely appreciate their support!
