    Memorial Day 2026

    A memorial run to raise awareness for our Special Operations members who were killed in action since 9/11/2001. Only one rule to run with Project 33; the flag represents the fallen, and no runner will pass the flag. The flag will lead the way.

    Our traditional run in-person event is a pack run of 6.8 miles at a 12 min mile pace.

    New this year!

    Walkers, joggers or minors who would like to participate have the option to join in at three different mile markers;

    Hamburg Fire Hall water stations (park at Hamburg Fire Hall) Distance: 2.1 miles

    Air Force Recruiting Office water station (Main street - parking in Municipal lot) Distance :1.5 miles

    18 Mile Creek Golf Course (park in lot - water station will be at road) Distance: 0.7 miles

    Post pictures after your run and tag us on social media (Facebook: Project 33 Memorial Foundation; Instagram: @project33memorialfoundation) and include the hashtag #RUNFORRYAN

    We are truly blown away by the participation of our in-person and virtual supporters throughout the years! Our virtual runs have taken place at military bases as far north as Fort Drum, NY and as far south as Fort Rucker, AL. Participants have honored the fallen while stationed overseas in Poland, Kuwait, and Iraq. The impact that this has on the honoree's family is immense, we thank you for that!

    If you are local to Buffalo, we would love to see you at our in-person event which culminates for a day of remembrance and camaraderie at Hamburg Brewing Company. Virtual registration is available for out-of-town participants or for participants who would like to participate at their own pace. This Memorial Day join us and honor SFC Ryan A. Gloyer. We cannot wait to see all your posts as we run for Ryan and keep his legacy alive.

    While Project 33 typically partners with 501(c)(3) organizations, this year at request of Ryan's family - proceeds will be directed to the designated recipient connected directly to Ryan's story. This decision reflects our commitment to honoring each family's wishes while staying rooted in our mission of service, remembrance, and impact.
