About the 2nd Annual Triple Nickle Remembrance Run

The course runs along Liberty Trail at Fort Bragg, honoring the Parachute Infantry Battalion whose nickname gave this race its name. That unit broke ground as the Army's earliest all-Black airborne force, and the race distance is a deliberate echo of their designation. The event connects their smokejumping missions and their push toward military integration to a morning of running on the base where much of that history unfolded.

If you do not have base access, you will need to stop at the All American Gate Visitors Center before race day to pick up a visitor pass. There is no fee for the pass, but it is worth handling ahead of time so the morning goes smoothly.

Common Questions About the 2nd Annual Triple Nickle Remembrance Run

Will I finish last at the 2nd Annual Triple Nickle Remembrance Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5.55 Miles field finished slower than 53:42, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:42:55, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 2nd Annual Triple Nickle Remembrance Run a good first 5.55 Miles?

A field of 234 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5.55 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2nd Annual Triple Nickle Remembrance Run?

The 5.55 Miles winner ran 33:26 while the median finisher took 53:42. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
