Veterans Day Kickoff. November 11–14, 2027.
Three days on the course, one day to close it out. Mark it now — team registration and race tickets open on this page.
Mission First
3 Bravo 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.
One Loop. Ten Times. 220 Miles.
The Veteran 220 runs entirely inside BLM-managed public land in the Antelope Valley / Moon Rocks 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.
Bring One Teammate. Or Nine.
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.
The Rule That Defines This Race
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.
Veteran Base Camp
More than a checkpoint — the heart of the event, and the full reset point every team returns to after each loop.
Support on Every Mile
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.
Leave No Trace Is an Operating Requirement
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.
Our goal: leave the route and Base Camp equal to or cleaner than we found them.
220 Miles. Ten Loops. No Shortcuts.
Start building your team now. Crew an aid station, sponsor a mile, or make a gift — and watch this page for 2027 team registration and race tickets.
