The final day’s run for the Run For The Fallen will occur on August 24th, 2008. Starting in Ft. Irwin California June 14th and now 71 days later the Run concludes its remarkable honor to our fallen troops on this coming Sunday morning with a ceremonial 10K run through the District. This date is one day and a year after we had Scott’s service at Arlington National Cemetery.
We will be there. We are encouraging anyone who can to join us at Section 60 at 8:30am that day to walk or run to the Arlington Metro station just outside the gates of Arlington National Cemetery around 9:15-9:30am where the Run For The Fallen’s completion will occur and closing remarks will be given.
The Cemetery opens at 8AM. Get a pass at the Visitor Center. We will leave Section 60 at 8:30AM walking to the Metro station. If you want to take the Metro in, Arlington is on the Blue line.
