K.I.A. Memorial Roadmarch (“KMR”)

The biggest Veteran event in WNY!

The K.I.A. Memorial RoadmarchTM (or “KMR”) is a 10K ruck march through Chestnut Ridge Park in Orchard Park, NY.

Participants will march, run, walk or crawl, a 10K either as a Individual or Team while carrying rucks (back packs) filled with non perishable goods ( or choose to not carry and donate before the Roadmarch we just ask that you bring a minimum of 30 lbs to donate.) You can donate your perishable goods to the VFW Post 1419 before the march. The Roadmarch is open to all – current / retired military, first responders, civilians- EVERYONE! 

 If you can’t carry the weight and just want to walk we ask that you register, join us and donate the minimum of 30 lbs food at the beginning, no need to carry that weight, just have fun!
