Whether you are an endurance hiker, mountain climber, trail lover or beginner hiker you can get involved! In 2011 and 2012 hikers were the biggest overall fundraisers and many of the participating fundraisers got groups of people to fundraise with them and hike the day of the Memory Miles event. Over 200 group hikes were recorded last year and many of those groups completed 10 miles!

Runners raise more per fundraising page. If more runners join in in 2013 then the potential fundraising will be huge compared to bikers and hikers. Some runners even went barefoot as way to honor our fallen heroes. We would like to put out a personal challenge to everyone this year to run at least 1 mile.

The Memory Miles Challenge is filled with people who participated by biking miles. As Bicyclist you can put in some extreme miles to help us get to our goal of accomplishing 75,000 miles in 2013. One bicyclist pedaled at his gymnasium for 24 hours. Another biked all the way across the state of Ohio. Even entire families put in miles on the bikes to raise funds. If you are a bicyclist this is a challenge for you to get involved with!

Host a Memory Miles Event in Your Local Community

It’s never too late to create and host a Memory Miles event in your local community! Some people host a local walk or hike in honor of fallen heroes and others create big events with hundreds of people completing miles! Now you can set up an event with Active Heroes and help in a big way! We will even help to get you merchandise to sell and place your event on our website calendar!
