Join us on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at Palmer Lake Regional Recreation Area for the 7th Annual Colorado Run for the Fallen —an up to 6-hour untimed run/walk/ruck hosted by the Honor and Remember – Colorado Chapter. This moving tribute honors over 450 Colorado military service members who made the ultimate sacrifice since the start of the Global War on Terror.
