This year, non-riders may also register in support of the Legacy Run. Non-riding supporters provide much of the resources needed to conduct the run; supporting registrations of $25 or greater will receive a full map book and 2015 American Legion Legacy Run patch.

Passengers must register separately from the rider/operator. All map books, patches, and other registration material will be mailed to all pre-registered riders, passengers, and supporters on or before Aug. 12. Please note that there is no guarantee that those who register after Aug. 1 will receive their t-shirts, map books and patches in time for the Run

The Legacy Run raises funds for The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund, which provides college scholarships for the children of U.S. servicemembers killed on active duty since 9/11.

In 2014, donations made on the floor of the 96th National Convention in Charlotte raised the Legacy Run total past $1 million for the first time; more than $435,000 was raised during the ride itself. Together, the nine Legacy Runs have raised more than $5 million for the fund, with each surpassing the previous year’s total.
