Massachusetts Run For The Fallen
The Massachusetts Run For The Fallen is a commemorative, timed 5K run, walk, or ruck held in Dedham at Barnes Memorial Park on September 12, 2026. The event honors fallen service members and first responders, including Gold Star Families and Massachusetts police, fire, and EMS personnel lost since 9/11. Proceeds and donations support grants for families of fallen heroes and remain in the state.
There are multiple entry categories for adults and children, including dedicated entries for Gold Star Families and families of fallen police and fallen fire/EMS personnel. Entry fees listed by the organizer include $35 for adult events, $35 for the adult ruck, $20 for child entries, and $25 for the listed family categories. Some participant packages include a bib, medal, and post-event BBQ; a T-shirt is included for the first 400 participants with sizing not guaranteed. Complimentary registration codes are noted as available for qualifying family categories.
Event activities include a Fallen Hero name reading ceremony and post-race family activities such as a BBQ and family-focused attractions. Registration opens July 14, 2026, and registration deadlines vary by category in early September 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
