Join the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, in support of the USO, at Fort Indiantown Gap for the 13th annual March for the Fallen event on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at Fort Indiantown Gap. This event is rain or shine!

March for the Fallen is an event for the military and civilian communities to join annually in honoring the memory of all fallen service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our great nation. We are bringing this event back to its roots. The event races will not be timed. You will have from your event start time until 6:00pm to complete the course. Trophies will be provided to individual race winners by the Training Site. The events are the 28- and 14-mile marches, 5k run/walk, a 28-mile hand cycle and a virtual 28-mile march or 5k run/walk. Spectators are also welcome in support of the event but are not able to be along the march route. The safest and most comfortable place for spectators will be at the Community Club.

The 28- and 14-mile marches offer challenging routes varying from asphalt roads to rolling and steep mountain trails of dirt and gravel on the training lands of Fort Indiantown Gap. The course start point elevation is 500.77' and climbs to 1239.43' on Second Mountain of the Appalachian Mountain Range; low point elevation is 484.28' and is within the first mile of the course.

Bibs will be provided at check-in. Bibs must be displayed and visible at all times for safety purposes. Bibs are required to be on the courses. Those found on the courses without the proper event bib will be removed.
