Nemo Memorial Run – Run for the Heroes
The Nemo Memorial Run is a global virtual event dedicated to the memory of Benjamin Aser (Nemo) and all the brave heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for Ukraine’s freedom.
Benjamin (Nemo) was a volunteer soldier, infantryman, and combat medic who fell in action on May 24, 2025, shortly after his 21st birthday. During his service, two military units considered him their own: Nemo first joined the Revansh tactical group, and later the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, ultimately falling in action while serving in this unit. While saving a wounded comrade and despite receiving orders to retreat, he remained at his position to cover his team's withdrawal, saving many lives. This run is not just about the kilometers covered; it is about ensuring that the legacy of those who stood for liberty is never forgotten.
How it Works: Since this is a Virtual Event, you can participate from anywhere in the world. Whether you run on a trail or through your local streets, every kilometer is a tribute to courage and selflessness.
The Memorial Period: The event spans the significant timeframe between May 24, 2026 (The anniversary of Nemo’s passing) and November 27, 2026 (The anniversary of his burial).
Participation: You can complete your chosen distance at any time during this period.
Join us in keeping their light alive. Heroes never die.
