The Great American Relay is a running relay that supports our veterans. We run along the 9/11 Memorial course, starting at the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania, through the Pentagon Memorial and finish at the World Trade Center in New York City.
How It Works
Each leg features 1 lead runner and up to 10 team members. Each leg has a designated start location and approximate time to start. Runners take the baton and carry it to the next leg's start location. Leg distances vary from 1 mile to 9 miles. You pick what works best for you.
Over the past 6 years, more than 2,000 runners have united in this one-of-a-kind event, forging friendships, celebrating patriotism, and making a real impact for our nation's veterans.
