3Bravo exists to help veterans at elevated risk of suicidal ideation from PTSD, military sexual trauma (MST), and traumatic brain injury (TBI) — and we focus that help on the moment it matters most: the transition out of service.
We support that transition with therapeutic retreats, adventure therapy, equine therapy, financial guidance, and help navigating VA benefits. We serve veterans nationwide and actively target our Nevada community — and we never turn away a veteran who needs help with their benefits, whether or not they ever line up at a start line.

The Veteran 220 runs entirely inside BLM-managed public land at Moon Rocks and the surrounding BLM area, north of Reno, Nevada — existing roads and trails only, no new construction, no new ground disturbance. Every loop returns racers to Veteran Base Camp for a full reset before heading back out.
Every team covers the same 220 miles, no matter its size. Run every loop together, split into pairs and rotate, or send one runner at a time — how you cover the 10 loops is up to your team.
If your team starts a loop, everyone who started it has to finish it before the team moves on. A team of ten does not out-pace a struggling teammate. Nobody starts the next loop until the last one is closed out.
If a racer is rescued off the course and brought back to Base Camp, their team forfeits its place in the competitive standings. The team can keep moving and finish in goodwill — but their time and their spot on the leaderboard are done.
More than a checkpoint — the heart of the event, and the full reset point every team returns to after each loop.

Special Operations Forces medics, including 18D-qualified personnel, alongside nurses, EMTs, and off-duty fire volunteers staff Base Camp — with two dedicated medical side-by-sides reserved only for emergency response, and coordination with Reno-area fire for additional support.
Every racer wears a bib and carries a phone plus an event-issued trackable item; a Garmin or comparable GPS/satellite device is required. Lap checks, aid station check-ins, roving crews, and course sweeps keep track of every racer on the loop.
We run on land BLM has entrusted to us. Pack in, pack out. No open fires. No new routes, no new ground disturbance — existing roads and trails only. A full volunteer cleanup follows the race.
Racer entry is $250 and registration is open now. Put your team on the line, crew an aid station, sponsor a mile, or make a gift — it all goes to the same place.
Helping veterans navigate transition, mental health, and benefits — before, during, and long after service.
