Lace Up, Bowie! Honor Our Veterans at the Green Bowie Veterans 5K!

Get moving for a great cause! The annual Green Bowie Veterans 5K brings our community together to honor veterans, celebrate healthy living, and promote environmental sustainability—all while having fun!

This FREE, family-friendly event welcomes runners, walkers, and leashed pets of all fitness levels. No competition, just community spirit!

The festivities begin at 7:30 am behind Five Guys at Bowie Town Center, featuring information tables, community organizations, and opportunities to give back. The patriotic program starts at 8:30 am., followed by runners at 9 am and walkers at 9:05 am.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Bring unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots or care package donations for Operation We Care, supporting military personnel and first responders.

Volunteers are also needed to help make the event a success!

Ready to participate? Register today, grab your sneakers, and show Bowie’s veterans some love!
