About
Join us for an inspirational day at the Boots on the Ground for Heroes Memorial 5K Walk/Run! Honor the bravery of the fallen Rhode Islanders post 9/11 in a heartfelt ceremony, followed by a scenic route through Fort Adams State Park. Lace up and make strides along the parade field of the historic Fort, where each step supports Operation Stand Down Rhode Island and the poignant Memorial.
Gear up for an invigorating morning with registration kicking off at 8:30 AM, leading into a 25-minute tribute at 9:30 AM. Then, at 10:00 AM, take on the Run/Walk with purpose and passion. And remember, our Memorial, adorned with over 7,000 boots, flags, and placards, stands as a powerful tribute to those we've lost, seen by thousands. Your participation pays homage to these heroes and helps us continue to assist homeless and at-risk veterans. Let's keep their legacy alive together!
