Event Information

Welcome to our 5th annual event!

This event is 22 hours long because 22 veterans are lost to suicide EVERY DAY! We are raising awareness on that statistic and fundraising to support organizations providing outlets and safe spaces for our Veterans who are still with us. This year's beneficiaries include Guitars for Vets, Therapeutic Riding Inc., and Leashes of Valor.

No matter how you participate, the only expectation is that you participate to your ability. We hope you have fun and make a new friend. Your time and pace don't matter — run, walk, or both. You can do as many or as few loops as you wish.

Packet pickup will start on Saturday at 9AM, continuing through the event.

Veterans participate free with the coupon code VETERAN

FAQ

Participation & Logistics

• Do I have to run for the full 22 hours? No. This is a "choose your own challenge" event. Whether you want to hit a specific distance or just walk a few miles to show support, you are welcome. You can start, stop, and take breaks whenever you need.

• Can I start late? Yes. However, do not just jump on the course. Even if you arrive late, please check in at the Registration Tent (next to the Aid Station) first to ensure your chip is activated and you are accounted for.

• Is this a timed event? Yes. In-person participants will be chip-timed. We’ve upgraded our infrastructure for 2026 to ensure a smooth, accurate experience.

• Should I track my own mileage? For in-person runners, we suggest keeping your own GPS watch running for your personal records. For virtual runners, you must track your own mileage and submit it by November 10th to receive official credit.

Base Camp & Support

• Can I set up a tent or pop-up canopy? Absolutely. We encourage a "Base Camp" atmosphere. Tents are allowed in designated grass areas near the parking lot. Please refer to the Course Map for layout.

• What is the Aid Station like? We take immense pride in our aid station. Expect more than just "fuel"—we provide a high-tier spread of hot food, snacks, and plenty of coffee to keep you moving through the night.

• Is this a cupless event? We are actively driving toward becoming a cupless event to reduce waste and stay sustainable. We won't be "militant" about it this year, but we strongly encourage you to bring your own reusable bottle or hydration pack.

• Are pacers allowed? Yes! To keep spirits high and runners safe, pacers are welcome to join you free of charge starting at 8:00 PM (after dark) or once you’ve hit the halfway mark.

• Can I have my own support crew? Independent support (that does not utilize our aid station facilities) is allowed and free. If your crew plans to use the aid station or base camp facilities, we ask that they consider a "Crew Pass" donation in our store.

• Is alcohol allowed? No. Heritage Park is a family-friendly, alcohol-free environment.

Virtual & Tracking

• When do I have to finish my virtual miles? Virtual runners can complete their miles on their own schedule, but results must be submitted by November 10th.

• Where is the leaderboard? We will have a live-feed leaderboard active during the event. The specific link will be emailed to all participants and posted on our social media the week of the run.
