THE MOGADISHU MILE:
AN ANNUAL TRIBUTE TO COMMITTED EXCELLENCE

Honoring the Heroes

The Mogadishu Mile event exists to honor the fallen warriors of that battle, as well as all those who have served in the military and first responder communities. It is a way to keep their stories alive, to educate future generations about their sacrifices, and to reinforce the importance of resilience, unity, and service.

The Kentucky Mogadishu Mile

The Kentucky Mogadishu Mile, hosted at Queenslake, brings together veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and supporters to participate in a symbolic run, walk, or ruck. Beyond the physical challenge, the event raises awareness, fosters camaraderie, and supports causes dedicated to those who serve.

Through the years, the event has grown, with participants reflecting on history, celebrating the warrior spirit, and ensuring that the sacrifices made on that fateful day are never forgotten.

"Leave No Man Behind."
