About this organization
Mission
wear blue: run to remember honors the service and sacrifice of the American military through active remembrance.
About
The Wear Blue Mile - The Wear Blue Mile is a section of certain designated races that honors the service and sacrifice of the American military. Volunteers, often fellow military or families of the fallen service members, line a mile of the course holding large American flags. The names of the fallen service members are embroidered onto black ribbons that drape each flag. Leading up to the flags, posters are displayed with the photograph and name of each fallen military member whose flags are being held. The Wear Blue Mile is a moving tribute to honor and humanize those who gave their lives for this country. In 2017 Wear Blue Mile activation expanded from 6 races to 10 (67% growth) as part of a national strategy to grow Wear Blue programs. Additional paid staff, travel, and resources were added to accommodate the growth of this core program.
