March for the Fallen is an event for the military and civilian communities to join annually in honoring the memory of all fallen service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our great nation. We are celebrating the 1/112th lineage by following the route from the original 6th Street Armory in Erie, PA to the newer home of the 1/112th Infantry in Cambridge Springs, PA. WHILE THE EVENTS WILL NOT BE TIMED, YOU WILL HAVE FROM YOUR EVENT START TIME UNTIL 6:00PM TO COMPLETE THE COURSE.
The events are the 26- or 11.2- mile heavy or light marches and 5k run/walk. Heavy marches consist of rucking with a pack weighing at minimum 35lbs, while the light category requires 10lbs. Spectators are also welcome in support of the event but must exercise extreme caution when along the march route, as Route 97 is a public roadway and will be open for traffic during the event.
The 26- and 11.2-mile marches offer challenging elevations and various scenery along a public roadway Route 97.
The 26-mile option follows the route from the historic armory on the corner of East 6th and Parade Streets in downtown Erie to the current home of the 1/112th Infantry Battalion on Center Street in Cambridge Springs. Transportation will be provided to the start site.
