The March

the march

We're a group of Veterans from all branches of service that do a scenic 10 mile walk aka "road march" on Memorial Day. Many non Veterans and kids join us as well. This was started to 1. Honor our fallen comrades 2. Raise public awareness for the holiday and 3. Create a good excuse for Veterans to hang out. Our route is the scenic 10 mile River Trail Loop of Hastings, MN. Along the route we'll have Honor Markers that feature our fallen comrades, or family or friends that made the ultimate sacrifice.

Help Us Grow, at No Cost!

Thanks to the new 10 mile route the participation as tripled, and we'd love to see many more in 2026.  It is now FREE FOR EVERYONE - Veterans and Non Vets. 

Kids can walk too!

If you have a child under 18 they can walk so long as you are with them. No cost for the kids either.

Yes, you can do it! 

We walk at a 3mph pace and will have three stops for a 10-15 min break each time. At each stop, aka Check Point, we are greeted by awesome volunteers with great food and beverages. We do walk as a group. This is not a race of any kind. Also, you can stop anytime. We have volunteer drivers who can help you get back to your car.  

Need more details?

No problem. More details on the March including tips on preparation, a suggested packing list can be found here. All of this info will be emailed to you once you Register.
