The Saturday Run
The cornerstone to achieving wear blue’s mission is the Saturday Run, a weekly no-cost run or walk hosted by wear blue volunteers. Each gathering begins with a Circle of Remembrance, honoring the service and sacrifice of the American military, and is followed by a self-paced run or walk through the community. It is a place of connection, support, and healthy living for athletes of all abilities. Find a Community near you.
Gold Star Youth Mentorship Program
The Gold Star Youth Mentorship pairs children of fallen military with currently serving members of our armed forces to build resilience, healthy coping mechanisms, and a connection to a life of service. Children are empowered to navigate the complicated impacts of traumatic childhood grief, and reclaim their lost identities as military children, while mentors are able to complete their own cycles of healing.
Memorial Day
On Memorial Day, wear blue: run to remember produces a national memorial event. Partnering with local non-profits, we encourage runners and walkers across the nation to commit to run or walk miles in honor of our fallen service members.
