As a long-standing tradition of Eglin AFB, the Gate To Gate Memorial Run/Walk is an opportunity to remember our heroes who have served in the military and to honor America's lost heroes, all service members, who died defending our country's safety and freedom. We invite all to pay tribute to their sacrifice and show our support for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country. Team Eglin is proud to present this Northwest Florida community event with options to run or walk in honor of a lost loved one in your own life or to honor a service member.


Gate To Gate is a 4.4-mile competitive race on Eglin Air Force Base. Active Duty, DoD Civilians, Retirees, and the public can register for this historic event. All participants and registered guests are invited to enjoy the after-party at Unity Park. Runners and Walkers will be provided free food and beverage ("Runners Rations") as they finish the race.
