Event summary

Join us for the Memorial Day Run & March on Saturday, May 18, 2024, in Castle Rock, Douglas County, as we unite to support homeless veterans in our community! This inspiring event at Douglas County High School features three challenging categories: a 5K Run/Ruck, a 10K Run/Ruck, and a 30K Ruck March. Participants are encouraged to fill their rucksacks or backpacks with 25 pounds of non-perishable food items, which will be donated to veterans in need upon completion of the race.

Not only will you receive a race T-shirt, finisher medal, and timing bib, but every registration also directly benefits the Special Forces Foundation.

Bring your friends and family to help us make a difference in the lives of those who have served. Let's come together to celebrate and give back this Memorial Day!

The Memorial Day Run & March invites civilians, Veterans, and uniformed Military to challenge themselves in friendly competition while helping feed homeless Veterans. We have three category events to choose from 5K Run/Ruck, 10K Run/Ruck, and 30K Ruck March.

Fill your rucksacks or backpacks with 25 pounds of nonperishable foods and set off on a 5, 10, or 30K route. When finished, empty your bags and help us raise food to feed Colorado's homeless Veterans. If you're at the in-person event, we will take the food from you at the end.

Proceeds from your registration (and donations!) go directly to helping Special Forces Foundation. We encourage you to share this page and get friends and family involved to support the cause! Thank you on behalf of SPECIAL FORCES FOUNDATION.
