South Carolina's 2024 Run for the Fallen will take place 18-20 October and will go from the State House Steps in Columbia to Patriots Point Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant.
Our runners will travel 125 miles through Columbia, Gaston, Swansea, St Matthews, Cameron, Elloree, Santee, Holly Hill, Ridgeville, Summerville, Goose Creek, North Charleston, and finally end at Patriots Point Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant.
Our SC Relay Team will stop at each "Hero Marker”, located one mile apart, to give individual tribute and greet waiting family members, friends and the community. The goal of this event is to create a Memorial Trail, from Columbia to Mount Pleasant, and call out the names of over 400 Fallen Heroes.
The names and locations of South Carolina’s Hero Markers can be found here Heroes – South Carolina Run For The Fallen (usarunforthefallen.org).
