About Run For The Fallen NH:
Run For The Fallen is an annual run/walk/bicycle event where along the 12 mile route picture posters have been placed. During the running of the race, Gold star families stand along side of the pictures of their loved ones and cheer the runners on. Runners stop along the route to thank the Gold Star families for their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their loved ones. This is “VERY EMOTIONAL”, this year will be my 3rd year attending.
Runners do not need to run the whole race as trolley cars travel along the route to take them to each poster or back to Odiorne.
At the end of the race, 10:30 am, all runners gather outside of Odiorne. At 11:00 am, all runners jog back into the park together as one, waving American flags as they are greeted by the Gold Star families and other attending guests.
Gold Star families will be treated to a free luncheon prepared by Chill Catering. PGR volunteers will be given a meal ticket as a thank you from RFTFNH for their efforts.
The general public cannot purchase meal tickets, but other attending PGR members (Flag Line) can purchase a meal ticket for $10.00.
Live music provided by Alias Keith & Jones.
Run for the Fallen NH is a 501(3)c nonprofit organization that pays tribute to our NH fallen hero’s from September 11, 2001 to the present.
