Colorado Run for the Fallen
The Colorado Run for the Fallen is an annual commemorative tribute held at Palmer Lake Regional Recreation Area on 13 September 2026. The event is organized by Honor and Remember, Inc. and marks its eighth year in Colorado. It recognizes more than 480 Colorado military service members who died as a result of serving during the Global War on Terror and also honors fallen EMS, police, and fire personnel as well as a civilian hero.
Each dedicated mile is run, rucked, or walked in memory of an individual; names, ranks, and dates of loss are called from an Honor Station Tribute Area throughout the day. The program includes an opening ceremony, a scheduled run/ruck/walk, a Gold Star lunch, a Gold Star loop, and a closing ceremony with tolling of the honor bell. Participants may take part as individuals or teams, and volunteers support the tribute. The public may attend to listen and pay respects.
Distances and participation options include:
- 1 Mile Hero Walk
- 5K Run or Ruck
- Core runner team for the full tribute
The event aims to give a named tribute to each fallen hero and to acknowledge the sacrifices of the families they left behind. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
