More than 5,400 American Legion Riders have logged close to 3 million miles in the second annual challenge.

American Legion Riders National Chairman David Heredia is praising his fellow Riders for their efforts so far in participating in . The ride serves as a tribute to the military members, veterans and first responders who protect and serve our communities.

Harley Davidson’s goal for the challenge is 100 million accumulated miles; each mile logged brings the challenge closer to a $1 million donation to organizations that support the heroes who have Americans’ backs. As participating riders rack up the miles, they may also compete to win one of five new Harley-Davidson® motorcycles and earn other awards for mileage milestones.

So far, more than 5,400 American Legion Riders have registered for the challenge, logging nearly 3 million miles. “That, in itself, is absolutely awesome,” Heredia said. “Every mile matters. Every Rider matters. But this challenge is more than just getting us on the road. It increases the visibility of the American Legion Riders, and that’s the important part: our Legion Family and our Legion Riders being seen across the country.

“For those Riders who signed up already, it helps us build those relationships. And it also helps us build relationships with other riders, local (Harley-Davidson) dealerships, and it creates an opportunity for us to share our mission and service to veterans and military families within our communities. It’s also an opportunity to introduce more people to do the work and to introduce people to the work we do every day – including our work for the Veterans & Children Foundation and the life-changing impact the foundation has one veterans and family members.”
