Arkansas Run for the Fallen On March 17-19, 2023, in a reflection of remembrance, a team of runners will embark on a 155 mile run to honor Arkansas service members who have died while serving on active duty since September 11, 2001. The run begins in Ozark, Arkansas and ends in Little Rock, Arkansas. Each mile of the run is dedicated to an Arkansas Hero. The run team stops at each marker where they present an American Flag and a biographical card in honor of a fallen service member who has died while serving since 9/11/2001 in an effort to create a 155 mile memorial trail through Arkansas. These are the expected times for Altus and some of Johnson County for Friday, March 17. The runners LOVE to hear the support while running their mile. 5 SPC ROBERT A.
