Active Duty Servicemen and Servicewomen Will Run To Remember The Fallen This Weekend

Active duty members of all branches of the military will embark on a 172 mile run through New Jersey this weekend to honor every New Jersey service member killed in Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom and New Dawn.

The 4th annual NJ Run For The Fallen will commence with an opening ceremony on Friday morning at 8am at Cape May Lighthouse and close at the NJ Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Holmdel on Sunday afternoon at 4.  Along the route, groups of 3 members of the military will carry a flag while running 7 miles at the miliatry pace of 8 miles per minute.   Each mile of the run is dedicated to a NJ Hero.  A 172 mile trail is to be created with flags and personal biographical cards for each fallen soldier from New Jersey.

More information, including the route and schedule can be found here.
