About the POW/MIA 2-Mile Run/Walk

The race takes place on a track at a naval installation, so the course is loops on a measured oval rather than open roads. It follows a ceremony honoring POW and MIA service members, which sets the tone for the morning. Runners and walkers can enter as individuals or as a unit group, and both are a natural part of the field.
