Eleven Airmen assigned with I.G. Brown Training and Education Center made their way 13.1 miles through Gatlinburg and into Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains April 22 to complete the 10th Mountain Man Memorial March. Team TEC finished 2nd and Team AFSA finished 3rd in the military team light 13.1 division. One sergeant, who ran the half marathon, finished sixth overall. The annual 26.2, 13.1 and 10K run/march/ruck has since grown to be among the largest Gold Star Family events east of the Mississippi.
