Set against the serene backdrop of its riverside paths, this event offers a reflective yet inspiring atmosphere where runners gather to pay their respects while commemorating service.

The relaxed setting encourages runners not just to compete but also to enjoy each step alongside fellow participants.
As you approach the finish line, be prepared to witness an emotional yet uplifting celebration shared among racegoers and spectators who have come together in remembrance of fallen heroes. A standout highlight for many is receiving a specially designed finisher’s medal that symbolizes both your personal achievement and serves as a poignant reminder of why we gather on this day.
By participating, you join hundreds dedicated to honoring sacrifices made by servicemen and women over the years. Embrace each stride along Walton's riverside not just as a physical feat but also as an opportunity for reflection and remembrance. Whether it’s your first time or another year in memory of someone special, ensure this experience leaves its mark on you.
