The 24th annual Bataan Memorial Death March at White

The 24th annual Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., commemorates the service of veterans of World War II with a half marathon and full marathon, March 17, 2013. The high desert terrain presents a challenge to people from all across the country. Teams of five compete for the marathon and half-marathon event. All five members must remain within 100 feet of each other at all times during the race, and cross the finish line together. A tracking device is used to monitor individual and team movements during the event. This team is just 100 meters from the finish line.
