Event notes
The Special Forces Foundation is honoring the fallen in the 4th Annual Eagle Down Memorial Run 5K/10K. We are running to celebrate the lives of the Special Forces "Green Berets" warriors who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

During combat operations "Eagle Down" is the code phrase used by Special Forces to alert the unit that an American has been killed or injured. As Special Forces continue to be at the Tip of the Spear in our Nation's conflicts, this task does not come without significant sacrifice from those warriors, support personnel, and their families.

Proceeds will benefit the Special Forces Foundation which continuously develops, evaluates, and refines programs to support wounded veterans, families of the fallen, and the Special Forces community. They ensure these extraordinary individuals are receiving the support and care needed both abroad and at home. You can also donate online here.

The cost is $35 for the 5K race and $40 for the 10K, during early registration. Prices increase $5 on March 17th. Both distances are chip timed with age awards. All ages and ability levels are welcome!

All participants will earn a Finisher Medal and T-Shirt (while supply last).

Check-in will open at 6:30 am on race day to pick up your bib and shirt.

The race takes place at AZ Falls, located at 5802 E. Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85018. Overflow parking is also available at the Lutheran church, just North of the falls off 56th Street.

Check-in for the races is from 6:30 – 7:30 am. The 10K race starts early at 7:45 am, followed by the 5K at 8 am. It’s best to arrive early for check-in and parking.

Virtual Race option: Run or walk any time or place you choose, to earn your medal. Results reporting is optional but encouraged! (Race packets are mailed during race week.)
