Massachusetts Run For The Fallen 5K

Join the mission on September 12th to Honor our Massachusetts Fallen Heroes who have sacrificed for our Freedoms since 9/11 . Run, Walk, or Ruck to show their families WE WILL NEVER FORGET. In 2012, Military Friends Foundation created the “Massachusetts Run For The Fallen” to honor those Massachusetts fallen heroes who have given their lives in military service since horrific September 11, 2001 attacks. The run is dedicated to keeping the legacy of these Heroes alive and showing their families that WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 100% of your donations provide critical grants and programs for military families and families of Fallen Heroes right here in the Bay State . This will be our 14th Massachusetts Run For The Fallen and your support stays right here in Massachusetts to support families and families of Fallen Heroes through our official charity Military Friends Foundation ( 37-1462599 ). **New for 2026: We are honoring Fallen Police/ Fire/ EMS. Anyone that creates a team to honor their Fallen Hero will be eligible to add a hero marker for their loved one. Please email info@militaryfriends.org for more information.
