2025 American Legion Legacy Run
FUELED BY COMMUNITY SPIRIT
For 18 years, the American Legion Riders have journeyed across the nation, rallying communities to their cause. The sight of flag-waving supporters lining streets and overpasses—cheering as our riders pass by—continues to fuel this mission.
Since its inception in 2006, The American Legion Legacy Run has raised $16 million dollars for The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund. These funds have provided over $6.2 million dollars in scholarships to support the higher education of children who lost a parent in active military service on or after September 11, 2001, or whose post-9/11 parent has a VA disability rating of 50% or higher.
Thanks to the enduring success of the Legacy Scholarship Fund—now self-sustaining for the foreseeable future—the Legacy Run expanded its mission in 2024 to begin fundraising for The American Legion Veterans & Children Foundation (VCF). This new chapter ensures we continue addressing the evolving needs of veterans and military families.
None of it would be possible without the unwavering support of local Legion posts, businesses, city officials, and law enforcement.
2025 American Legion Legacy Run
Join us August 17 to 21, 2025 on the 2025 American Legion Legacy Run, advancing hope for veterans and their families through our fundraising efforts for The American Legion Veterans & Children Foundation (VCF).
The route will showcase the stunning landscapes of the American South and vibrant eastern coastline, including the scenic beauty of South Boston, VA, the historic Fort Bragg in North Carolina, and the charming beach coast of Wilmington and Myrtle Beach.

About The American Legion Riders
The American Legion riders began as a small group at Post 396 in Garden City, Mich. Today, it has grown to over 120,000 American Legion Riders meet in over 2,100 chapters in every domestic department and in at least three foreign countries.
In addition to The American Legion Legacy Run, Riders support other American Legion programs, such as Operation Comfort Warriors, provide escorts during veteran funerals, and participate in honor and remembrance ceremonies throughout the year.
