What is America's 2.2 Relay?
A 2,022-mile Veteran-awareness relay organized around 2.2-mile public runner segments, launching from the Georgia State Capitol on August 27, 2026.
Is the map live?
Before launch, Route Command shows the working route and planning status. During the event, verified location and schedule updates can be labeled live. The site will never present simulated movement as real telemetry.
Can I register to ride instead of run?
Yes. The 2026 Suicide Prevention Ride is a separate 22-rider event from September 15–17. Choose Ride on the registration page to request review.
Does registration guarantee a place?
No. A request becomes confirmed only after the VET22 team reviews availability, required releases, assignment details, and any applicable payment.
How can I volunteer outside the relay?
Choose Community Service Team on the volunteer page for committees, media, outreach, sponsors, event support, and ongoing Frontline/VET22 programs.
Where do donations go?
Giving supports Frontline Community Services and VET22 programs. Campaign pages identify the intended program, and the approved secure payment provider handles each transaction.
