CORE RUN
TEAM

Serious runners only please

We are assembling a small group (20 maximum), of active or former military personnel or dedicated athletes to comprise a core team of runners committed to a 4-day 250 mile tribute run from Virginia Beach to Arlington National Cemetery. Run will begin at 630am from the Light house at Fort Story and conclude in Arlington National Cemetery Section 60. The run has a specific timetable for each marker throughout each day. Runners need to be flexible, willing to run on any given day and when needed. RAIN OR SHINE.

Runners will run approx. 1 mile for every Virginia fallen military hero who died while serving during the current war on terror, stopping to salute and give tribute by name at every Hero Marker, briefly greeting family, friends and comrades who may be waiting nearby. Stopping no longer than 90 seconds each.

Each runner must be physically capable of a consistent 8-9 minute mile for 2 mile legs. Core teams will regularly rotate over the 4-day period. We are not looking for quantity of runners but a solid team dedicated to the remembrance of those who gave their lives and their families. This route will be grueling at times because the trail winds through many hilly areas as we near Northern Virginia. A specific pace must be maintained in order to timely greet waiting families.

I am a US Navy veteran , part of team RWB, and an avid runner . I love the idea of running as a community to honor the fallen. This is an opportunity to bring awareness to others regarding the sacrifices made by the fallen . A great opportunity to meet and run with others as well.

CWO4 USMC (Ret) - I’m grateful to be able to participate again as a Core Runner for this outstanding organization. I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in 3 Virginia Run For The Fallen events and the first Ohio Run For The Fallen event. This event allows me to use my running ability, enjoyment of the outdoors, and a strong appreciation for the military to honor and remember the heroes along the trail. I promise to put forth my best effort to represent the organization and honor the recognized Virginia military heroes. Each mile covered will be done so with remembrance and appreciation, with the goal of ensuring the heroes and their families know that they’re not forgotten. Semper Fi
