Runners and walkers can once again lace up their shoes for Westfield Welcome’s eighth annual Grand Run presented by Centier Bank on Memorial Day. Grand Run boasts a 5k, 10k, half-marathon and a special kid’s fun run at Grand Park Sports Campus.
Participants will run on Westfield’s expansive trail system winding through Grand Park, and half-marathon participants will enjoy a northern scenic stretch of the Monon Trail. The kids’ fun run will take place inside the Grand Park Events Center.
Online registration is open now and pricing varies per race. The kids’ fun run is free to participate but registration is required. Prices will increase on race morning. Donations received from Grand Run directly support Helping Veterans and Families (HVAF), an organization dedicated to ending homelessness among veterans.

“Grand Run continues to become a Memorial Day tradition for runners, walkers and their families,” Westfield Welcome Director Kayla Arnold said. “We appreciate participants that take time out of their holiday weekend to benefit such a noteworthy cause that can better the lives of veterans.”
