KIA Memorial Roadmarch
The biggest Veteran event in WNY!
The K.I.A. Memorial RoadmarchTM (or “KMR”) is a 5 Mile (approx) ruck march through Chestnut Ridge Park in Orchard Park, NY.
Participants will march, run, walk or crawl approximately 5 miles either as an Individual or Team Member while carrying rucks (backpacks) filled with non-perishable goods (or choose to not carry and donate before the Roadmarch). We just ask that you bring a minimum of 30 lbs to donate!
The Roadmarch is open to all – current / retired military, first responders, civilians- EVERYONE!
** If you can’t carry the weight and just want to walk we ask that you register, join us and donate the minimum of 30 lbs of food at the beginning, no need to carry that weight, just have fun!
THE BIGGEST TEAM
WINS THE KMR BAT CUP!
When you register for any of the divisions being offered, you will be asked if you would like to JOIN or CREATE a team. If someone has already created the team, simply select the team name you wish to join from the dropdown list. If you are the first team member to register, come up with a clever and fun name to get things started!
Then if you have the biggest team to finish the KMR, YOUR TEAM will WIN the KMR BAT (Big ass trophy) CUP! Each year the KMR BAT CUP will have the Team name inscribed on it of the previous year's winner. Your team will actually get to take home a replica smaller version to keep!! The question is, will you DOMINATE each year and have the biggest team name all over it?
KMR Individual Challenge
Open to EVERYONE, For more info not listed here, see the FAQ Rules Section
This is where it gets competitive! You walk the same route carrying 30lbs of canned goods but we’ve added Drill Sergeant Inspired Challenges to do! Each KMR Challenger completes the 4 Challenges and receive a special KMR Challenge Swag after you cross the finish line as a KMR Challenger, you also receive a medal and of course are allowed bragging rights.
