Episode Details

The Bataan Memorial Death March commemorates the harrowing World War Two event where American and Filipino soldiers were forced on a deadly sixty-five-mile trek, resulting in thousands of deaths. Since its inception in 1989, the march has grown exponentially, attracting nearly ten thousand participants each year, including active-duty troops, veterans, and civilians. Participants tackle either a full twenty-six point two-mile course or a shorter one, often carrying thirty-five-pound rucksacks filled with donated food for charity. The event has evolved to include a safer route with better medical access and scenic views, and a virtual option for remote participants.
