The Bataan Memorial Death March is a
challenging march through the high desert terrain of
White Sands
Missile Range, New Mexico, conducted in honor of the heroic
service members who defended the Philippine Islands during World War
II, sacrificing their freedom, health and, in many cases, their very
lives.
Choose between two routes
The
GREEN (full)
route is the full 26.2-mile Bataan Memorial Death March. Awards are
presented to the top two finishers in each category. Those marching
the 26.2 miles will be able to experience, in part, what Soldiers
endured during their long forced trek through the Philippines.
The
BLUE
(honorary) route is 14.2 miles in length. This shorter march is
designed for participants who would like to memorialize Bataan but
do not wish to march the full 26.2-mile route. There are NO awards
given for this shorter march.
