The GWOT 100 is a national 100-mile challenge honoring those who served during the Global War on Terror. Inspired by the 15-year tradition of the Taji 100, this new chapter—led by Team Red, White & Blue—carries this event forward. This is first and foremost a virtual event – our goal is to get as many people as possible moving 100 miles in February.
GWOT 100 – National Virtual Challenge (Main Event)
Complete 100 miles during February in any way you choose: run, walk, ruck, cycle, swim, row, SkiErg, elliptical, stair climber, or Jacob’s Ladder. Go solo or with your community—what matters is showing up and honoring our nation’s heroes.
