Just the Basics

Here are a few easy suggestions for planning your 5K for Veterans event to get you started:
  • Take advantage of any trail system on campus to establish a race route. If there isn't one, plan a safe route away from heavy traffic.
  • Consider shorter distances to provide more engagement and to gauge employee interest.
  • Look for a local running club for some additional tips.
  • Schedule a Food Truck to serve lunch. Be mindful and offer healthy options! If your budget allows, provide free food or discounts. This can be tied to any race participant or veterans, and then you coordinate with the food truck vendor at the end of the day to pay out anything they’ve awarded. If budget doesn’t allow for rewards, the tenants will still appreciate being able to buy their own lunch while having fun on-site.   
    • We can help you determine a budget based on activities at your other events if needed. Most trucks will work on a maximum so you can give them your budget number and they’ll stop serving free food once that’s reached.  
    • Food Truck Discount Examples: Most food trucks will work with you to create a package to meet your budget. Ideas for how you might incorporate free tenant food include giving the first 20 people in costume free lunch, paying for the first $500 spent at the truck, or paying for an appetizer for anyone in costume up to $250.
