The event honors men and women who have served in the US military, with proceeds supporting Mission 22, an organization founded by veterans. Mission 22 offers personalized support and resources for veterans and their families, including stress and activity monitoring, meditation, coaching, exercise programs, wellness supplements, and educational materials. The goal of the event is to maintain continuous participation on the track, ensuring at least one person is present at all times during its duration. Participants are encouraged to sign up for a time slot to help achieve this objective.
