The Race of Remembrance is a unique endurance event that combines running with a powerful act of remembrance, held annually in the UK. Created to honour the sacrifices made by Armed Forces personnel, particularly those who have been injured during their service, the race takes place over a weekend that coincides with Remembrance Sunday. Participants not only strive to complete a challenging course but also to raise awareness and funds for military charities that support veterans and their families. For many involved, this event serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and camaraderie shared among those who have served, fostering a sense of community and collective tribute to the enduring spirit of the Armed Forces.
