The Georgia Army National Guard ASSAULT ON KENNESAW MOUNTAIN (AoKM) MEMORIAL 5K Race is conducted at Kennesaw Mountain State Park, in Kennesaw, Georgia. Attracting hundreds of runners from across the state each year, the AoKM exemplifies what it means to Never Forget. Participants, which include military and civilian runners and walkers of all ages, run/walk to honor the Georgia National Guard’s Fallen 43 Soldiers lost during the Global War on Terrorism 2001-Present. AoKM’s mission is to support the Georgia National Guard Family Support Foundation, build morale, and promote physical fitness.
Now in its 13th year, over 2650 runners have assaulted the mountain since 2012. To date, the AoKM has generated over $47,000 in support of our Georgia National Guard Soldiers and Airmen.
We are so excited to see you on the mountain this year so we can HONOR those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation.
You are invited to join together with people from all walks of life to honor America’s finest, in support of an organization that provides much needed relief in times of crisis, to America’s finest. Registration is NOW OPEN and will close on 25 October 2024 at 10:00 am.
