Forged by Fires, Aligned by Mission 

Due to the devastating wildfires and current closure of Riverside State Park, March for the Fallen had to quickly find a new home for 2026, and we're very thankful to have found it with the Guardians Protection Project and Step to Remember! Our missions to honor & remember those who serve, and to support the families left behind align perfectly, and we couldn't have found a better partnership. We're excited to share all this joint event will bring to and for the community!

Important Notes:

The event will start and finish at Hop Mountain Taproom & Grill's parking lot in Mead, WA.

The March for the Fallen course will be setup at Mead Airport, just adjacent.

The course will be lined with Fallen Hero banners and supported with water stations

The event will not be timed this year, distances will be approximate, and due to uneven terrain, it will look more like a trail run for those who choose to run.  

But just like always, after the run/ruck/walk, everyone's invited back to Hop Mountain for all the camaraderie, and that's where you'll really see all this partnership has to offer! 

Ruckers, runners, walkers, steppers, kids and leashed dogs are welcome!
