Bataan Memorial Death March
Ruck and raise for America’s veterans with Team RWB!
Overview
Since 1989, the Army ROTC Department at the University of New Mexico has sponsored the Bataan Memorial Death March to honor the US and Filipino POWs who were forced to march 65 miles in the jungles of the Philippines during World War II. Roughly 10,000 of them died on the March. In 1992, the New Mexico National Guard and White Sands Missile Range joined in the sponsorship and the event was moved to the White Sands Missile Range.
Team RWB has long had a presence at this incredible event. This year we’re taking it to the next level by offering you the chance to fundraise for our nation’s veterans. Those who commit to the fundraising minimum will be given a FREE entry. If you already have an entry, you can fundraise only and still earn FREE, exclusive Team RWB Bataan Memorial Death March swag.
