Laguna Hills Half Marathon

Laguna Hills Memorial Day Half Marathon, 5k, and 10K is a brand that celebrates the spirit of valor, honoring the United States Marine Corps Dark Horse Battalion. Participants can join in the commemoration by taking part in the Half Marathon, 5K, 10K, and Kids Run events. The brand has gained recognition for its commitment to excellence and patriotic values.

Each year, the brand introduces a new medal design as part of the Memorial Day Legacy Medal Series, with the 2023 edition dedicated to honoring Prisoners of War and Missing in Action. Finishers also receive a specially designed t-shirt to mark their participation. The event invites participants to embrace the series, which pays tribute to various themes over five years, including the US Coast Guard, Women Veterans, First Responders, and Purple Heart recipients.

This year's Grand Marshal, Captain Cameron West (Ret) USMC, shares his inspiring story of becoming an Infantry Officer platoon leader after being inspired by his Marine grandfather. The brand fosters a sense of camaraderie, inviting people from all backgrounds to join in the spirit of valor and commemorate those who have served our country
