Full Legacy Run route online

The complete American Legion 2015 Legacy Run Route Plan is now available online for download.

Stops on this year’s ride include wreath-laying ceremonies, the Georgetown Veterans Home in Ohio, the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania and the Gettysburg area.

More than 600 participants have registered for the 2015 Legacy Run, which will leave Indianapolis Aug. 23 and arrive in the Baltimore area Aug. 26. 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.
