The Great American Relay is a 7-day running relay that raises money for the Tunnel to Towers foundation.

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.
