STRIDE & RIDE RELAY IS ALMOST HERE; WILL YOU TAKE THE CHALLENGE?

On October 7th, 2001 just weeks after 9/11 our best and finest Military Men and Women were deployed to defend our country under Operation Enduring Freedom. The focus of this relay event is to honor and remember the October 7th, 2001 deployment of our Military Men & Women, those still serving, those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, our Veterans, and the Military Men and Women we lose everyday due to PTSD and the invisible wounds of war. The Stride and Ride supports Military Charities, which benefit Active Duty Military, Veterans and their Families, and Gold Star Families who lost a loved one in military service. Take the Challenge and be a part of this exciting 911 mile journey by either registering, sponsoring, donating, or spreading the word. Whether you’re an avid runner, a generally active walker or rucker, a cyclist or motorcyclist; Stride & Ride Relay has a stage(s) for you.
