The 19th Annual Mountain Man Memorial March planning is underway and we look forward to seeing everyone! Book your travel for this year's event taking place April 10-11, 2026. Join us as we host our Gold Star Families and celebrate the lives of our fallen Veterans!
The 2026 Mountain Man Memorial March will continue to offer both the March events and the Run events. We look forward to having everyone return to Gatlinburg in 2026 to join with our Military and Veteran community!
In addition to in-person racing and the usual categories in the team march, individual march and run events, we will also continue to offer a virtual racing option in 2026. We believe many MMMM veterans want to return, but the virtual option will be there if you cannot make it to Gatlinburg and still wish to be a part of this tremendous event and mission.
Pre-race packet pick-up will be published as we get closer to the date of the race. All registrations will be online only! We are working with other organizations & vendors to also be available during both Friday and Saturday.
The Gold Star Family Ceremony will take place on Friday, April 10, 2026 in the Mills Auditorium located within the Gatlinburg Convention Center. We will be reaching out to the Gold Star Families registered with more information.
The race events on Saturday, April 11, 2026 will begin at 7:30 AM with the opening ceremony and followed by the race beginning at 8:00 AM. Winners of the run and march events will be recognized and prizes awarded throughout the day as the events culminate.
The route begins in Gatlinburg and makes its way through Gatlinburg and into the Smoky Mountains. The route consists of paved road, gravel road, and other uneven terrain. The route is made up of flat stretches, rolling hills, and steep climbs. Water points, snacks, medical aid and support staff will be positioned and available along the route.
It is highly recommended that all participants carry appropriate water and fuel to properly finish their race.
