At Gold Star Services Network, we are honored to highlight the 17th Annual NJ Run For The Fallen, taking place September 24–28, 2025. This powerful tradition honors every service member from New Jersey who gave their life in support of freedom, with a run that stops one mile for each fallen hero of the Global War on Terror.

Event Details

• When: Sept 24–28, 2025

• What: A 195+ mile run, where each mile is dedicated to a hero, as runners travel the route in remembrance.

NJ Run For The Fallen goes beyond a race, it’s a living memorial. Every mile walked or run is an act of honoring, each name called, each mile completed is a story retold. For Gold Star Families, these events are a chance not just to remember, but to be remembered, seen, and supported.

At GSSN, we believe that remembrance and recognition are vital. Events like this give voice to sacrifice and help support healing and community.
