Event summary

Join us for the Memorial Day Run & March on Saturday, May 20, 2023, in beautiful Castle Rock, Douglas County! This inspiring event is not just a race; it's the largest food donation drive in Colorado dedicated to helping homeless Veterans. Participants can choose from three exciting categories: a 5K Run/Ruck, a 10K Run/Ruck, or a challenging 30K Ruck March. Each participant is encouraged to fill their rucksacks with 25 pounds of non-perishable food items, making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking to show your support, this event is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself while giving back to the community. As you cross the finish line, you'll not only receive a commemorative race T-shirt, a finisher medal, and a timing bib, but you'll also contribute directly to the Special Forces Foundation. Bring your friends and family along to share in this uplifting experience, and together, let's make a positive impact for our Veterans! For more information, visit the event website and get ready to make a difference on May 20th!

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.
