#JordansRun 

Jordan’s Run Veterans’ Memorial 5K Run/Walk will be a bare bones event this year. In these strange and trying times, we want everyone to be healthy and safe. We will host our run, but virtually this year! And this year, Jordan’s Run has sponsored our community who always helps us when asked, by donating to the Sag Harbor Food Pantry! We’re in this together! 

Please register online and then run or walk wherever you are!  On July 26th or whenever you can. Registration is at a reduced cost. Kids under 12 years old are free. We won’t have run shirts this year, but your bib will be mailed to you with instructions on how to participate.

Show us your run!! Send in your stats and photos! Use the hashtag #JordansRun. Maybe you can get a small group together in your area and have a fun race! Strava is a free app that will allow you to record your run, to get a true 3.1 miles. With technology's help, we can still have awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in age groups. After all the results are in, medals will be mailed to our winners and announced on Facebook and the website.

We will miss seeing all of you in 2020, but hoping we are together in spirit!

ABOUT

On April 22, 2008, United States Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jordan Christian Haerter was killed in action in Ramadi, Iraq. At 19 years of age, Jordan was deployed to a join security station Nasser, in the Sophia District of Ramadi, which at one point was the center of insurgency in that city. the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines were in the process of turning over this joint security station to the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. Jordan, a member of the fiercely proud and storied 1st Battalion, 9th Marines also known as 'The Walking Dead', and fellow Marine, Corporal Jonathan T. Yale, a rifleman with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, were standing guard at an entry control point. At 0745, a large truck accelerated towards the entry control point, careening off the protective serpentine, ignoring all signals and flares warning the driver to stop. When the truck failed to stop, Jordan and CPL. Yale opened fire until the 2,000lb blast claimed their lives.

They stopped an explosive-laden suicide tank truck from entering the compound with precision firing, the explosion taking their lives, but saving the lives of 33 Marines, Iraqi Policeman and countless Iraqi civilians.
