Established in 1986, the Gate To Gate Memorial Run/Walk, a 4.4-mile competitive race, is long-standing Eglin AFB tradition to remember our heroes who have served in the military. The date change matches up with Armed Forces Day in 2025. As Eglin has grown and we have Sister Services serving on Eglin AFB, we want to honor all branches.
We honor America’s lost heroes who died defending our country’s safety and freedom. We invite all to pay tribute to their sacrifice and show support for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country.
Team Eglin is proud to present this Northwest Florida community event with options to run or walk in honor of a lost loved one in your own life or to honor a service member. Our purpose of remembering and honoring our fallen remains intact.
Gate To Gate Memorial Run/Walk is open to the public of all ages. Online registration is required. Participants who register by May 1 are guaranteed a t-shirt and event medal, which are limited to the first 1,200 entries. So, sign up early!
