Valhalla Running is excited to host our Inaugural Bataan Death March Memorial Run and Ruck March on March 25th, 2023 starting at 8:30am!
The Bataan Death March was the forcible transfer by the Imperial Japanese Army of between 60,000 and 80,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war from Saysain Point, Bagac, Bataan and Mariveles to Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, via San Fernando, Pampanga, the prisoners being forced to march despite many dying on the journey. The transfer began on April 9, 1942, after the three-month Battle of Bataan in the Philippines during World War II. The total distance marched from Mariveles to San Fernando and from the Capas Train Station to Camp O'Donnell is variously reported by differing sources as between 60 and 69.6 miles (96.6 and 112.0 km). Sources also report widely differing prisoner of war casualties prior to reaching Camp O'Donnell: from 5,000 to 18,000 Filipino deaths and 500 to 650 American deaths during the march.
The run will be held on the Little Elm Lake Trail. This is an amazing trail run. The first half kilometer is a nice paved concrete trail. Once that ends, it becomes a pea gravel trail that offers an easy terrain run. This trail is stroller friendly if you would like to push your little one. We are offering the following race's:
