Race to Remember – Memorial Day

ALL GAVE SOME SOME, SOME GAVE ALL today we will honor all those men and women that have so bravely made the ultimate sacrifice for our FREEDOM. We will start all race at the Vancouver “Remembrance wall” on Columbia and Phil Arnold Way and head east along the waterfront.

Our “Race to Remember” Memorial Day Run is a timed event, which is open to the public on Memorial Day. We want to honor all military fallen heroes, which is why the start/finish is at the Memorial Wall on Phil Arnold Way on the corner of Columbia Way in Vancouver, Washington. The Half marathon, 10K and 5K Route is an out and back course on the Columbia River trail. The first Half Mile is our Honor Mile, where we will line the pathway with the American Flags and pictures of military fallen heroes. The Honor Mile is a community walk and meant for us to slow down as a community and remember the sacrifice of our military heroes. After the run enjoy Vendors & Meet Vancouver Veterans.

“Race to Remember” is not just the name of a race but also the name of our military nonprofit which has the intended purpose of ensuring our communities Never Forget the sacrifice(s) that our brave men and women of the military and their families make every day to continue to protect our Freedom. In addition to participating in race events throughout the nation, Race to Remember organize three races a year: Race to Remember – Veterans Day Race; Race to Remember – Memorial Day Race; and United We Stand for 9/11. In addition to racing, we organize and participate in other events that honor and support our Veterans with Military care package drives, Honor Flight flag escorts, Honor the Fallen events, Veteran moving assistance, as well as providing opportunities for our local youth to better understand the true meaning behind the Veteran and Memorial Day Holidays. Our ultimate goal is to build partnerships with other organizations in our communities and throughout the nation to help us honor and support our past, present and future Military Veterans. Our main long term goal is the establishment of a scholarship program for the children and spouses of the Fallen Soldiers.
