Remember the Fallen 21k

Memorial Day is a day for remembrance of those who have died in service to our country. Our Remember the Fallen virtual run will be a distance of 21k.   21k was chosen for the distance because it is commonly recognized as the highest honor by many nations.  Also, represented by the number 21 are the following:

1. Marches 21 steps south down the 63-foot-long (19 m) black mat laid across the Tomb.
2. Turns and faces east, toward the Tomb, for 21 seconds.
