A Run to Remember

November 10, 2017 @ 5:00 am PST

Event Date:  11/10/17

Location:      SMHS Football/Track Field

Time:                      5:00 AM – 12 Midnight

The annual “Run to Remember” will be held for the eighth year at the Santa Maria High School football/track field on Friday, November 10, 2017, from 5:00 AM to 12:00 Midnight.

The 19-hour “Run to Remember” commemorates the 19 Marines of the 3rd Battalion 5th Marines Regiment that were killed during the September 2004 to April 2005 tour of “Operation Iraqi Freedom”.  The main objective, however, of “Run to Remember” is to honor all Fallen Heroes from past and present wars by remembering them as people of all ages run or walk a mile in their honor.

The event begins at 5:00 AM with a short opening ceremony.  Each person who walks or runs may select the picture and bio of a Fallen Hero to read and remember during their walk; or they may bring a picture of their own loved one.  Again this year, the “22 Push-ups Challenge” is scheduled for 2:22 PM to bring awareness to the high number of daily veteran suicide losses.

The event and participation is free.  All donations will be accepted for Fisher House Foundation, which provides free or low-cost lodging to veterans and military families while their loved ones are receiving treatment.

The event organizer, Monica Díaz, whose son is one of the 19 Marines killed in Iraq, invites the public to come out at anytime during the event to help honor our Fallen Heroes and to help support veterans and their families.
