Run for the Fallen, the 4,113-mile cross-country relay run created by Hamilton alumnus Jon Bellona '03, is featured in the July 3 issue of USA Today in an article titled "Runners mark miles for fallen troops." Bellona organized the run in honor of Michael Cleary '03, his Hamilton roommate who was killed in Iraq, and all of the soldiers who have lost their lives in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The relay team assembled by Bellona is comprised primarily of Hamilton alumni. They will plant a flag with the name of a fallen soldier at each mile on the 4,000-mile route. A flag and marker will be planted in honor of Cleary on July 20 along a 58-mile route between Winfield and Langton, Kansas.
