New Legacy Run gear available as online registration continues

Online registration remains ongoing for the 2023 American Legion Legacy Run and will go through Aug. 9. So far, 172 registrants for the five-day, 1,100-mile motorcycle ride, which will leave American Legion Post 6 in Kokomo, Ind., on Aug. 20 and travel through Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee before the final stop at the Hendrick Motorsports campus in Concord, N.C., on Aug. 24.

The annual motorcycle ride is in the final year of raising money for The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance with college for children of U.S. military personnel killed while on active duty on or after Sept. 11, 2001, as well as for children of post-9/11 veterans with a combined disability rating of 50 percent or greater by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Last year’s ride raised a record $1,324,548 – the eighth time the Legacy Run has surpassed $1 million.

As the start of the Legacy Run gets closer, Emblem Sales has created both a commemorative short- and long-sleeved T-shirt available for purchase. Click here to see both shirts and to order them by July 15 to have them in time for the Legacy Run.
