A running relay to celebrate America!
The Great American Relay is a coast‑to‑coast running event with a mission that moves far beyond the miles. Founded in 2020, during one of the most divided moments in our nation’s recent history, the relay set out to do something simple yet powerful—bring people together. Step by step, runner by runner, it united communities across the United States in support of our veterans.
Each year, participants carry the baton across thousands of miles, honoring those who have served and raising vital funds for veteran-focused charities. It’s more than a relay; it’s a tribute, a journey of solidarity, and a reminder that when we run with purpose, we run as one nation.
Why We Run
We run to honor our first responders and military that keep us safe every day.
