Run for the Fallen, the 4,113-mile cross-country relay run created by Hamilton alumnus Jon Bellona '03, was featured on CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News on Sunday, Aug. 3, and Saturday, Aug. 2, respectively. 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 have planted a flag with the name of a fallen soldier at each mile along their route from California to Tennessee. They will continue their run to Arlington National Cemetery where they will arrive on Aug. 24.
Additional information on how to participate in the final day of the run is available on the Run for the Fallen Web site.
