This Armed Forces Day, we invite you to be part of a historic moment as the Gate To Gate Memorial Run/Walk celebrates its 40th Anniversary by returning to its roots as a true gate-to-gate race. As a cornerstone of Eglin’s 96 FSS tribute to America 250, this landmark event proudly links four decades of local tradition with 250 years of our nation’s enduring spirit of service and sacrifice. More than just a race, the Gate To Gate is a 4.4-mile journey of remembrance along its classic course. We run and walk to pay solemn tribute to America’s heroes—the brave men and women from all branches who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms. Join Team Eglin and the entire Northwest Florida community as we come together to show our unwavering support for those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country.
