The American Legion Legacy Run isn’t just a ride — it’s a promise. Every mile supports the children of our nation’s fallen and disabled military heroes, ensuring they receive the education and opportunities their parents would have wanted for them.

This year marks Montana’s first-ever statewide Legacy Ride, and we’re proud to join riders across the country in fueling this mission. By coming together, we honor sacrifice, strengthen our veteran community, and help change the future for Legacy Scholarship recipients.

Montana may be new to the ride, but our commitment is strong. And every rider, supporter, and donor helps push this legacy forward. Let’s make our first year one that truly makes a difference.
