Bataan Memorial march

Step into the shoes of history and march for a cause that reverberates with valor and sacrifice. Take on the challenge and join us for an inspiring hike commemorating the heroes of WW2, specifically honoring the resilience shown during the grueling Bataan Death March. As a tribute to the 60,000-80,000 Filipino and American POWs who endured the 65-mile trek under extreme conditions, our event on March 28, 2026 will cover an epic 15-mile journey from San Marcos High School to VFW Post 3413.

Choose your challenge: march 'Light' or go the extra mile with the 'Ruck Division'. Carrying 10-20lbs of canned goods not only tests your endurance but also directly supports veterans through the VFW Post #3413 at the journey's end. Get ready to sweat, to remember, and to make a tangible difference. This is more than just a march; it's a powerful act of remembrance and support. Join us to honor the past and uplift the future!
