From the Route
This is what it looks like.
The Mission
Physical hardship meets higher purpose.
GUIDON22 2026 is more than a ruck. It is a deliberate act of remembrance, resilience, and resolve. This 22-mile movement brings veterans, first responders, families, and committed citizens together under one standard: to confront the reality of suicide in our community and refuse to look away.
Each mile represents the weight too many have carried alone. Each step declares that we will carry it together.
Whether you complete one mile or all twenty-two, you will leave stronger, more connected, and part of something that matters.
Hosted by The Guidon Foundation — whose mission is to honor God, uphold traditional American values, and strengthen individuals and communities in order to end veteran and first responder suicide and inspire young Americans to serve God and country.
