Join Alabama's
Runner Team

We are assembling a team of runners to complete a total of 100 miles over two (2) days at the Jones Valley Park in Huntsville Alabama. The run has a specific timetable for each marker throughout each day.

Runners will run approx. 1 mile for every Alabama fallen military hero who died while serving during the current war on terror, stopping to salute and give tribute by name at every Hero Marker, briefly greeting family, friends and comrades who may be waiting nearby. Stopping no longer than 90 seconds each.

Each runner must be physically capable of a consistent 9-10 minute mile for an hour. We are looking for runners dedicated to the remembrance of those who gave their lives and their families. A specific pace RAIN or SHINE must be maintained in order to timely greet waiting families.

We will be adhering to local guidelines in response to the risks of COVID-19 to include breaking groups up to maintain limits and maintaining 6 feet of separation between people.
