About Us
The Cemetery, one of only 136 National Cemeteries in the entire country, opened in 1867. Since 1984, the non-profit Regional National Cemetery Improvement Corporation has raised money to purchase and clear land to expand Fayetteville National Cemetery. The purchases, since turned over to federal government, have more than tripled the size of the Cemetery. But with the passing of the WWII generation, Fayetteville National Cemetery gets closer to full every day. We recently purchased 2 acres of land, but had to borrow over $100,000 and still owe over $75,000 that must be paid before the property can be transferred. The Veterans Memorial 5K is our largest fundraiser. Please help us get rid of the mortgage!
Course
The 5K course will begin near the entrance to the Fayetteville National Cemetery, 700 S. Government Blvd., but is substantially revised this year, thanks to completion of the trail to the north of the Cemetery. We will begin the race by circling the Cemetery. The course will have many fewer hills than before. We are measuring the course and will post a detailed map in the next few weeks.
Water will be provided along the course and road crossings are guarded.
