About the Event

Registrants after May 20th will have the option to purchase these items on the day of the race. Additionally, registration fee's will increase when registering after May 20th.

The race is inspired by my own encounter with Alzheimers's disease and is dedicated to my poppop Roger Flowers who passed in October 2024 after being afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. All those who have been touched by this disease are encouraged to attend or donate as all profits are donated directly to the Alzheimer's Association.

Whether you are walking or running this race is designed for you! The top 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall male and female finishers will receive awards. As well as top 1st, 2nd, and 3rd male and female finishers in the following age categories: 15 and under, 16-26, 27-37, 38-48, 49-60, and 60 and older. (Please note, that if you choose to select the 'prefer not to say' when prompted to select your gender you will be ineligible for placement awards.)

We look forward to seeing you at A Run To Remember 2026!

About Fairmont

Learn more about the host city, Fairmont.

Fairmont, nicknamed the "Friendly City", is a city of 18,313 people in West Virginia, and the county seat of Marion County. It was established in 1820 as Middletown, and changed in 1843 to Fairmont, short for "Fair Mountain". The city is located on the Monongahela River at its origin at the confluence of the Tygart Valley River flowing northwest from Grafton, and the West Fork River flowing north from Clarksburg. Fairmont claims to be the origin of the Pepperoni Roll, West Virginia's official state food. Mary Lou Retton — a gold-medalist gymnast in the 1984 Olympics, who was highly popular around the country and particularly in West Virginia — came from Fairmont.
