Event Description

March for the Fallen takes place each September in beautiful Riverside State Park, Spokane, WA.

It is a local event with global recognition of the service and sacrifice of our United States military members, along with the families, friends and battle buddies who have stood alongside.

In the Pacific Northwest, more than 400 service members have given their lives in service to our country since the events of 9/11.  March for the Fallen provides an opportunity to Honor and Remember each one.  We hope you'll join us on the 2nd Saturday in September.

Categories include a Team Ruck March and Individual 5, 10 or 15k run/walk/ruck.  

All proceeds from March for the Fallen are donated to local veteran and military support organizations. Your efforts can help someone you know: a neighbor, friend, colleague, or family member!  And your support goes a long way in showing families their Heroes will never be forgotten.  We hope you'll join us in saying 

Thank you.  

We remember.  

They will never be forgotten.
