Colorado Run for the Fallen 6 Hour Run/Walk/Ruck

 Join us on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at beautiful Palmer Lake Regional Recreation Area for the 7th Annual Colorado Run for the Fallen—a 6-hour untimed run/walk/ruck event hosted by the Honor and Remember – Colorado Chapter. This tribute of gratitude honors over 450 Colorado military service members who made the ultimate sacrifice since the start of the Global War on Terror.

Event Overview:
This is not a race—there are no chips, no clocks, and no pressure. Whether you move for 1 mile or all 6 hours, your presence recognizes a fallen hero. Each mile is dedicated to individual service members, and throughout the event, names are read aloud with a ceremonial salute to honor their memory.

“Every step we take, every name we speak, is a promise to never forget.” – George Lutz, Founder of Honor and Remember

Participants can join as individuals or teams, run, walk, or ruck in memory of a specific hero, or volunteer to support this powerful moving memorial. The public is welcome to cheer, participate, and pay their respects.

What to Expect:
Run, walk, or ruck as little or as much as you'd like
Carry the name of a fallen service member
Hear each hero's name, rank, and date of loss read aloud
Experience a ceremonial salute at each tribute mile
Conclude with a Final Mile of Honor walked or run together

Let us come together in unity and gratitude to ensure that the sacrifices of our heroes are never forgotten.
