SC Run For The Fallen 5K
to
South Carolina State House 1100 Gervais Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201
The third annual South Carolina Run for the Fallen is a reflection of remembrance. Teams of volunteer runners complete segments of a 120-mile run to honor every South Carolina service member who has died since September 11, 2001. The event will culminate in a 5K memorial run through downtown Columbia ending at the State House for a short ceremony. Each mile of the run is dedicated to a fallen South Carolina hero. The run team stops at every mile marker where they present an American Flag and a biographical card in honor of a fallen service member in an effort to create a 120-mile memorial trail through South Carolina. The Mission of the South Carolina Run for the Fallen is to raise awareness for the fallen heroes of South Carolina who fought and died supporting the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The purpose is also to provide support, hope and healing to families grieving the death of a loved one in military service regardless of relationship or circumstance of death.
