K.I.A. Memorial Roadmarch

The K.I.A. Memorial Roadmarch is a prominent veteran-focused event held in Orchard Park, NY, at Chestnut Ridge Park. Participants can choose to walk, run, or march either a 5-mile course or a 10K challenge route.

The event welcomes all—military personnel, first responders, and civilians—with no military training required. A unique feature is carrying rucksacks filled with at least 30 pounds of non-perishable goods, which are donated. Participants can join individually or as part of teams competing for the KMR BAT Cup, awarded to the largest finishing team.

The atmosphere is supportive and community-driven, with live music, food, and ceremonies enhancing the experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
