12th Annual CMSAF Binnicker Memorial Run presented by Eglin Federal Credit Union 2026

The CMSAF Binnicker Memorial Run takes place in Shalimar, Florida, during October. It features a 9K run, a 5K run, a 5K walk, and a 1 Mile Fun Run. The 9K and 5K events begin at 8:00 a.m. CDT, with the fun run starting 30 minutes later. Virtual options for the 9K, 5K run, and 5K walk are available for those unable to attend in person. The event commemorates CMSAF James C. Binnicker and supports the memory care wing at Hawthorn House, located within the Air Force Enlisted Village's assisted living facility. Hawthorn House provides care for military widows, retirees, veterans, and their family members affected by Alzheimer's and dementia. All proceeds from the race are directed toward the care and support of these residents. The first 300 participants registered for the 9K and 5K will receive a race shirt and a challenge coin. The morning concludes with music from a DJ, food, beverages, and an awards ceremony.
