NJ Run for the Fallen Starting Sept. 26 in Cape May, Ending in Holmdel on Sept. 28

A tribute to New Jersey’s military fallen heroes and their families, September 26, 27 & 28. NJ Run for the Fallen will kick off on Friday, September 26th at 8:00 a.m. from the Cape May Lighthouse. The Run will end at the NJ Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial (exit 116 off the Garden State Parkway) on National Gold Star Family Day, Sunday, September 28th.

In an apolitical reflection of remembrance, a team of active duty military personnel from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and other bases across the country will come together to embark on a 186 mile run that honors every NJ service member killed in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, New Dawn and all Wars and Conflicts.

Each mile is dedicated to a NJ Hero and their family. The run team will stop at each Hero Marker presenting a flag and personalized biography to waiting loved ones and comrades. A 186 mile memorial trail will be created across NJ.
