Mogadishu Mile Memorial 5K - Columbus, Georgia - Running

The Mogadishu Mile Memorial 5K is a Running race in Columbus, Georgia consisting of a 5K.

The Mogadishu Mile refers to a mile-long run by members of 3d Ranger Battalion, from a helicopter crash site to the Pakistani Stadium in Mogadishu, Somalia, during the Battle of Mogadishu on October 3-4, 1993, a scene depicted by filmmakers in the movie Black Hawk Down.
