Missouri River Runners are hosting the Sixth Annual Remembrance Run/Walk. This year the event is moving to its permanent home at the Siouxland Freedom Park. We will begin the event at 6:00 p.m. May 27th, 2016 and commence at 12:00 a.m. midnight that same day. This annual Memorial Day event honors our past and present military members, promotes community fitness, and encourages team and family activity, and friendly competition.

The event moving to the Siouxland Freedom Park in close proximity to the Vietnam Memorial Wall will allow participants to see what has been accomplished thus far, others will discover the Park for the first time. In line with prior events, participants may run or walk as long as they would like; any length of time or distance during the event. They may also participate individually or as members of a team.

Participation costs will remain at $25.00 adults and $10.00 for children 18 and under. All registrants will receive a technical event shirt. All proceeds raised will be donated to Siouxland Freedom Park, a 501(c) (3) organization.

Our first five years of this event have been very fruitful; a total of 1,921 participants have logged in excess of 11,142 miles and have helped raise over $40,000 for the Siouxland Freedom Park. Our secondary mission has been met each year: to raise community awareness concerning the concept, goals, and development plans for the Siouxland Freedom Park.
