On August 15, 2026, the KMR Memorial Roadmarch invites participants to join an unforgettable day of camaraderie and community service. The gates open at 8:00 AM for early arrivals to register, weigh-in their rucksacks filled with non-perishable goods, and collect race packets before the festivities begin. Registration remains open until 9:30 AM on event day, allowing last-minute participants ample time to sign up. This year’s theme is centered around inclusivity; whether you're a current or retired military member, first responder, or civilian enthusiast, everyone is welcome to participate in this unique challenge. The opening ceremony starts at 10:00 AM and includes the presentation of teams’ creative names as well as an opportunity for each team to have their moment under the spotlight. At 10:30 AM sharp, participants will embark on either a challenging 5-mile walk or run carrying rucksacks filled with at least 30 pounds of non-perishable goods, which they can donate before the event if preferred. Live music and vendor booths set up along Vendor Row offer entertainment for spectators while participants prepare. The photo booth near the KMR banner captures memorable moments that attendees will cherish long after the race ends. The day culminates with a celebratory finish line where all participants collect their medals, T-shirts (for the first 100 registrants), and challenge medals if they’ve opted for additional feats like completing the Roadmarch. The biggest team to cross the finish line wins the prestigious KMR Bat Cup, which will bear their name inscribed on it each year. Participants can also join or create teams during registration, fostering a sense of unity among runners as they tackle this demanding yet rewarding course together. Whether you're an experienced athlete or just looking for fun and fitness in good company, the KMR Memorial Roadmarch promises to be an inspiring day filled with spirit and support for those who have served.
