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.
September 5-11, 2026
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.
