Absolutely!! We do ask that the person running should be reasonably capable of running the mile in around 9 to 10 minutes at least - but having said that - our Team runners can be very accommodating!!
Also - please remember that whoever is running must make their own way to the beginning of the mile to join in. So if your Marker is for example 123 then the runner should be at 122! |

Each mile of the Run is dedicated to one of our NJ Fallen and the endpoint of that mile is marked by a distinctive Hero Marker which is placed in a prominent position - the Hero Marker # is also marked on the road surface. We will be putting these in place several days prior to the actual Run. This year we anticipate there will be 200+ individual HMs spread over the length of the Run. The Marker will have the #, Name and Day/Time for each location. We encourage Family members/friends/comrades/Veterans to stand at Markers.
Our Team run carrying 3 flags plus an individual flag with an attached Bio card for the Hero. On arrival they will pass the 3 Run flags to 3 waiting persons then a team member will read aloud the Bio, then step forward and place the flag/Bio at the Hero Marker. Our team will then salute, step forward to greet family members, take back the Run flags and proceed on to the next Marker. In early 2019 we will be publishing Hero Marker lists, maps and route directions for all of the locations. Although there may be some minor changes from 2018 we anticipate that those will be minimal. This section will be updated as required. |
