MARCH FOR THE 22 takes place each year on Veterans Day, November 11th. The march is comprised of four hikes of varying lengths, traveling up HWY 70 in Craven County. Our four hikes include our longest, which is 22 miles, beginning at the AMC Classic movie theater in Havelock. We also have a 22-kilometer option which begins at the Fuel Market in Neuse Forest, a 2.2-mile option beginning at the Carolina Grill, and a 2.2-kilometer option beginning at Outback Steakhouse. The hikes are organized so that, as the day passes, more participants can gather. We complete our hikes through Union Point Park, surrounded by the Field of Flags (which are placed each year by Vietnam Veterans of America), and end with a toast at Freshwater Beer Co.
