Join us for the Second Annual Trek For Troops Virtual Race in 2024—a powerful and meaningful way to honor and support our nation's veterans. Whether you prefer to run, walk, or hike, you can participate from anywhere in the world, at your own pace and on your own time. Choose your favorite park, hit a beloved trail, or even log your miles on a treadmill. This event is about more than just the journey; it’s about coming together as a community. So, find a friend, rally your family, or team up with fellow supporters, and sign up today to show your appreciation for those who have served. Together, let's make every step count.

Race Options

Ultra Challenge: Go the distance by choosing to complete an ultra-distance race, such as a 50K. Challenge yourself, set your pace, and make it an epic journey.

Distance Options: If ultra distances aren't your cup of tea, we also offer shorter distance options to accommodate all fitness levels. Select from 5K, 10K, 25K, or 50K.
