CAREFREE Ariz. – In commemoration of their dedication, the Town of Carefree is privileged to host several events over Veterans Day weekend in November, honoring the sacrifice of military service members and their families in ensuring our nation’s freedom.

All ages, abilities and “fur levels” are welcome to walk or run either a one mile or three mile course that will take entrants around the Carefree Desert Gardens and downtown Carefree. Virtual participation is also available for those wishing to financially support the event. Proceeds benefit Helping Hands for Freedom and other veteran’s charities. Bring a non-perishable food item in support of Foothills Food Bank. Visit ATTVeterans.org/race to sign up or for more information about the fun run.
