EVENT DETAILS:

On September 13th, 2014 runners will join the Fort Hamilton Family & MWR to run in memory of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.  All participants will have the ability to write the name of a Fallen Service Member of their choice on their runners bib.

Day of registration/check-in begins at 700am and will be held on the park grounds. Pre-registration and day of registration tables will be marked accordingly. The run begins promptly at 0830am.

There are no prizes for 1-3 place. Everyone is a winner in this run! The fee to run is $20 until 8/31/14 after that the fee is $25 so we can make last minute adjustments to ensure all logistics are in place (goodie bags, bagels, shirts, beverage, crew, etc). 

All proceeds go to

Survivor Outreach Services at Fort Hamilton

Participants will be escorted from the park grounds across the street to Shore Road Promenade where the run will begin. Once instructed to begin, participants will run on along this flat surface for 2 miles, turn around at the end (Owl's Head Pier), and run in the opposite direction to the starting point for the final 2 miles. Water stations will be posted every mile along as will medics to ensure everyone's safety. Once the run is completed, participnts will carefully return to Park (registration area) for participant medals, bagels, and refreshments - ya know, the good stuff.

Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) is an Army-wide program designed to provide dedicated support to survivors of deceased members of the armed forces. SOS standardizes casualty services and policies across the Army and provides additional staffing at Casualty Assistance Centers and Active Component and Reserve Component family programs. SOS responds to the need for specialized staff at Casualty Assistance Centers (CAC) to help Casualty Assistance Officers (CAO) support survivors, as well as adding additional staff who have the sole mission of providing continuing support to survivors.
