Virtual Challenge

Uniting teammates nationwide to support Dreams for Veterans

Rally your team

NOVEMBER 2025 • JOIN A TEAM • RACE FOR A CAUSE

Join colleagues across South San Francisco, SoCal, Oregon, DC, and nationwide in a friendly virtual challenge that advances our team avatar along a veterans-themed route. Every activity you log helps your team climb the leaderboard and supports Dreams for Veterans.

What to expect

  • Form or join a team (service branches, regions, sites—your call!).
  • Log inclusive activities—run/walk miles or minutes of ~80 exercises (auto-converted to miles) to move your team on the map.
  • Post photos & cheer on the activity feed, earn 🔥 streaks and badges, and spark some friendly trash talk.
  • Fundraise with optional peer-to-peer links; donations process via Stripe to Dreams for Veterans.
  • Celebrate at the finish with custom digital bibs and awards.

Route Theme: Iconic U.S. military landmarks from the American Revolution to today—progress updates include Google Street View snapshots as you pass each point.

  • Bunker Hill Monument (Boston, MA)
  • United States Military Academy (West Point, NY)
  • Gettysburg National Military Park (Gettysburg, PA)
  • 9/11 Memorial & Museum (New York, NY)
  • Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Washington, DC)
  • Arlington National Cemetery (Arlington, VA)

Camaraderie, competition, and a cause

💂 Service vs. Service

Create teams (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force) or regional/site teams (SSF, SoCal, Oregon, DC, Remote). Teams race on the same route with dedicated leaderboards.

🎖️ Veteran Milestones & Pin Drops

As your avatar reaches each landmark, a pin drop reveals a quick blurb and a “Learn more” link to highlight history and veteran impact.

💙 Fundraising for Dreams for Veterans

Optional P2P fundraising links let racers invite friends and family to donate. 100% of donations flow to Dreams for Veterans (minus standard card fees).

Avatars on map before the race
