Event Details
Sunday, May 24, 2026 • 10:00 AM • 1313 Kishwaukee Valley Road • Emricson Park • Woodstock, Illinois 60098
Participants can walk in memory of a veteran killed in action. We will provide a laminated printout of the veteran’s name that participants will carry on the walk. The cards will be placed on wooden stakes in the Square Garden, so they will be present for the Memorial Day Event.
Why Sponsor This Event
Memorial Day should do more than remember sacrifice. It should bring a community together around action.
Miles of Memory is a community 5K walk created to honor the fallen, support veterans, and give families a meaningful way to remember those who served. By becoming a sponsor, your business or organization becomes part of that mission.
