Details from event's RunSignUp.com listing:
The Fallen Warrior Foundation is deeply honored to host the 6th annual Sgt David Hierholzer Memorial Day 50k.
On Memorial Day, we will embark together as a unit to run the 32-ish miles across Marshall County—from the north county line to the south county line. The group typically averages around 10-10:30 minutes per mile pace stopping every 3-5 miles to regroup. Please understand this run is not a race. It is a journey. It is a journey to honor and remember those who have sacrificed everything to purchase and protect our freedom. Six years ago, a single man set out to honor his best friend who was killed in action. The journey to remember on foot began to resonate with many across the county. Just as one man’s sacrifice saved many, one person’s desire to never forget that sacrifice created a rippling effect. Participants have multiplied exponentially each year since the first trek across the county. There are four ways to run on Memorial Day with us: 1) run the full distance 32 miles, 2) run the first half and end at the Lewisburg square 22 miles, 3) run the back half from the Lewisburg square to the end 11 miles, 4) run or ruck the final 4 miles beginning at Cornersville High School. It may get hot as the day/run progresses. Be sure you have heat trained properly and carry water/electrolytes. If you choose to be an active participant, you will need to sign up on runsignup.com to sign a waiver and pay a small fee for fundraising purposes.
The group will rally at 4:45 at the North County line on 31-A, north of Holt's Corner, Memorial Day morning and head south from there. There is no parking here so plan to be dropped off near the start or car pool. Participants will be responsible for their own aid along the route and transportation to and from start and stopping points. It is strongly recommended to carry your cell phone in case of emergencies.
All exchange times are estimates based on previous years times.
Above all we encourage each person to embody the NEVER GO EASY way of life.
For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...
