The Bataan Memorial Death March is agrueling26.2 milerace through the high desert terrain of White Sands Missile Range, conducted in honor of the service members who defended the Philippine Islands during World War II.
The story of Bataan reflects one of the worst defeatsin American military history…a four-month fight for the tiny peninsula of Bataan in the Philippine Islands – the first major land battle for America in World War II. On April 9, 1942,theAmericanforces surrendered to their Japanese captors, who set them(including almost 12,000 American Soldiers) walkingsixty-six miles to prison camp, a notorious walk that came to be known as “The Bataan Death March.”Over the years, this race has become quite a tribute to the survivors of Bataan and is popular among military units. Our Rangers competed in the Military“Heavy” category requiring them to race in the desert with35 pound packs over mountainous terrain. The team finished in 2nd place with a total time of 5 hours and 49 minutes!
