2k Walk/Run and the "Last 5" mile Run...

In an apolitical reflection of remembrance a team of active duty Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard runners will embark on a 172+ mile run to honor every New Jersey service member killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.

The 4th Annual NJ Run for the Fallen will start at 8:00am on Friday September 28, 2012, at Cape May Lighthouse and will finish at 3:40pm  on Sunday September 30, 2012, at The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Holmdel, NJ.

Each mile of the Run is dedicated to a NJ Hero and the Run Team will stop at every Hero Marker (every mile) and present an American Flag and a personal biographical card in honor of every fallen service member with the intent to create a 172+ mile long memorial trail through New Jersey. 

Please join us on Sunday to Honor and Remember our NJ Heroes and their Families...

Note: This is NOT a race and will NOT be timed.   For more information...
