Mogadishu Mile informal run Oct. 7 at the Flora-Bama

The MOG Mile, a 1-mile free informal run open to the community in support of our ranger veterans, will be held on Oct. 7 at noon as part of the United States Army Ranger Association’s commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Battle of Mogadishu at the Flora-Bama. Rangers past and present will honor those that fought and died on this historic day by running or walking a mile on the sand behind Flora-Bama. This movement is often referred to as the Mogadishu Mile or MOG Mile. The public is encouraged to come stand on the sand and cheer the participants on. The Flora-Bama is located on the Gulf of Mexico at the Al-Fl state line.
