Remember the Fallen 5K Memorial Run

The Remember the Fallen 5K Memorial Run is a morning 5K in North Port, Florida, held at the George Mullen Activity Center on Kramer Way. Presented by the North Port Fire Rescue Honor Guard, it was inspired by 9/11 and honors first responders and members of the armed services. Race morning begins early, with packet pick-up opening before sunrise; packets can also be picked up in advance at the activity center. The event features a Hometown Hero Challenge for firefighters, EMTs, law enforcement, military service members, and veterans who run the 5K in service gear. Participants may personalize their bibs with a callsign, name, or nickname, enhancing the memorial theme. Now in its sixteenth running, it attracts participants seeking a straightforward local 5K with a clear purpose: remembering the fallen and showing support for those who serve.
