Mission Miles

• From September 1st to September 30th, walk, hike, run, ruck, or bike 100 miles in honor of America’s missing-in-action (MIA) service members who have yet to return home. Funds raised support the Project Recover mission to search for and bring home America's MIAs!

• Set fundraising goals from $250 - $2500 (or more!) to earn a limited-edition race shirt and great Project Recover swag!

• NOTE: Every participant will receive their own fundraising page; however, it is not a REQUIREMENT to fundraise.

Honor Our Heroes: Each mile you cover represents the journey of a service member who fought bravely for our freedom. Your participation pays tribute to their service and ultimate sacrifice.

Support Gold Star MIA Families: Your efforts help bring closure to the millions of family members who have been waiting for decades. Every contribution brings us closer to providing answers and reuniting families with their loved ones.

Be Part of Something Bigger: Join a community of passionate individuals who share your commitment to making a difference. Together, we can achieve what none of us could do alone.

“I was excited, pleased, grateful & thankful to witness the passion everyone put into this event.  As a Gold Star Family member, extremely thankful to staff, volunteers and participants.” 

-Jo Schumacher, Mission Miles 2023 participant and Gold Star MIA Family member

TEAMS: Create or join a team and have more fun doing the challenge together. Team Captains can get creative with ways to motivate and engage with each other from now through September. Emails, your own Facebook group, video updates, photo contest, an in-person or virtual finish party - the possibilities are endless!

LOGGING BIKE MILES: Does 100 miles on foot in one month sound too daunting? Get on a bike! We've added a drop-down that will allow you to log bike miles this year.

Participate in the Challenge: Register for Mission Miles 2026! By joining, you’re already contributing to our cause and setting an example for others.

Donate: If you’re unable to participate, you can still make a significant impact by donating to someone’s fundraising page. Every dollar brings us closer to our collective goal.

Spread the Word: Share your journey with friends and family through email, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and word-of-mouth! Encourage them to join the challenge or support your fundraising efforts. Together, we can create a ripple effect of generosity and support.

Join fellow runners on August 31, 2025 for the Mission Miles. It's a fantastic Ultra featuring a flat and fast course in Anywhere.
