The Eighth Annual Battlefield Run will be held
Saturday, September 17, 2011

 Welcome to the Eighth Annual Battlefield Run! Over the past seven years the Battlefield Run as raised thousands of dollars with over 150 riders and 250 participants from across the US and Canada. Yes, we have a dedicated group of Canadians that make the trip to Virginia to ride with us annually. This year the SOF community has had some great successes and very tragic losses. Most recently, the loss of 22 SEALS and 8 US crew members. With that great loss comes the additional burden of 42 children left fatherless. SOWF has committed to reach out to ALL of the US  families from that incident. With 144 children in school, another 600 in the pipeline and now another 42 from this incident, the need is greater than ever.  Months ago I said my goal was to raise $25,000. I am pleased to announce we are well on the way with sponsors assisting in boosting our start! Please join us this year and wind your way through Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania visiting sacred sites while helping us meet the goal. As always, there will be good food, good music, great raffle prizes and a few surprises for you as well. I look forward to seeing you on September 17th. ~Zman~ 

The funds raised for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) will provide college scholarship grants, based on need, along with financial aid and educational counseling to the children of Special Operations personnel that have been killed in operational missions or training accidents.

Great cause, great ride - I made the first four, and they were fantastic!!!  Ride starts in Leesburg, ends in Gettysburg, route goes through a number of Civil War battlefields, police escorts for majority of the ride.  Ends with a complimentary catered meal, and TONS of raffle prizes.  Organizer is Neal "Z-man" Zimmerman, LTC(Ret), a former Spec Ops, Joint Staff J-5-er and Officer of the Secretrary of Defense CT guy that a many of us remember from his time here.  This is honestly one of the best rides of the year, and it benefits a cause we can all relate to. - Pentagon Biker Update
