The 2021 Run for the Fallen will pass through Sea Isle City on Thursday afternoon, and everyone is encouraged to line Landis Avenue and cheer on the event’s runners as they honor deceased military members from the Garden State.
The New Jersey Run for the Fallen is an organization made up of active-duty military runners and support crew, with the mission of running from Cape May to Holmdel, N.J., in honor of each New Jersey active military member who has died for the country.
Along the way, the runners will stop once each mile (at a “Hero Marker”) to honor an individual New Jersey resident who died in the line of duty.
