Watermelon Run For The Fallen
In 2008, a team of runners ran across America from Fort Irwin, CA to Arlington National Cemetery, one mile for every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, and Marine killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Visit Run For The Fallen for more information.
The purpose of this event is to remember each individual who gave his or her life serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. Participants are asked to walk/run/roll a mile in memory of a fallen soldier that your knew or the soldier that will be assigned to you. Each participant will receive a shirt tag with the name of the military member for whom each individual will be walking/running/rolling for.
We host the Watermelon Run For The Fallen event in loving memory of SSG Jeffery Lee Hartley, come Run Walk or Roll with us in his memory. We would love to see you there!
