March 2026 Central Route Coordinator Newsletter

The Run for the Wall is about healing and for those that are continuing on the Sand Box Route, this will become evident when you are at the Middle East Conflicts Wall; as it is a living wall, with more names being added each year to honor our fallen.

In light of recent events, my thoughts and prayers go out to our military personnel who lost their lives in service to our nation as well as their grieving families during this darkest of times.

Unfortunately, their names will now also be added to that Wall in Marseilles and I will look for them, as I do for all my friends and acquaintances on that Wall. Please remember and honor them.

Prayers also being said to those that were wounded; that they heal quickly and become whole once again and that their families have the strength to see them all through this.

Finally, prayers of safety to all our military personnel, some of whom are in harm’s way and of course to their families who keep the home fires lit waiting for their return.

May they all return home safe.

 

 

March is here!

Remember to set your clocks ahead next Sunday (except Arizona). It is now 73 days to KSU from Ontario!

Registration for the Run is now $120. For those riding 3 days or less, $100.  We currently have 313 registered with 90 FNG’s!

There has been a flurry of activity over the last month, and your Central Route leadership has been busy.  Our Platoon Coordinator is still assigning and adjusting Platoons, and some Platoon leaders have started meeting with their platoons. Our itinerary just needs a few more tweaks before it can be released.

As a note, all Route itineraries will be released on the same day.

 

Kansas Turnpike

IMPORTANT: All riders and support vehicles on Central Route that register online after April 30th MUST notify the Registration team at time of check-in so they can correctly enter your vehicle’s State and license plate number.  Otherwise, you may receive a toll bill from the Kansas Turnpike Authority.

If you have a DriveKS or KTAG account, you will need to deactivate the tag of the vehicle you will be using for RFTW before May 18, or you may get a toll charge.

A huge thank you goes to CVMA 21-4 for covering our tolls on the Kansas Turnpike.

 

Pre-Paid Fuel

This year the Central Route will be having Pre-Paid Fuel again and for 2026 the cost will be $65.00 per motorcycle or trike.  The Fuel sticker takes care of your fuel costs during your riding day on the Run. The money collected will cover your RFTW fuel stops from Ontario, CA to Washington, DC.  A heartfelt thanks goes out to our many donors across the country, whose generosity allows us to keep our fuel costs down. Without them our prepaid fuel costs would be much, much higher. Unless you have an electric engine or hydrogen fuel cell, I don’t think you’ll find a better deal for premium gas.

The Pre-Paid fuel fee also helps defray the cost of fuel for our support vehicles, like the Chase Truck Team drivers, Last Man Vehicle, Hydration Vehicle and support vehicles.

There are two ways to pay for the Fuel sticker prior to April 30th:

ZELLE –  email addresses for Central Route is: central.route@rftw.us

It is important not to miss the . (period) before “route”

CHECK – Checks should be made out to “Run For The Wall, Inc.” Make sure you enter ”Central Route Prepaid Fuel” in the check’s memo section on the check or by accompanying paperwork.

The RFTW Treasurer Official mailing address is:

Run For The Wall Inc.
Central Route Prepaid Fuel
50 Fourth Avenue, Unit 1445
Dayton, NV 89403-8169

Your fuel sticker will be waiting for you at check-in.

After April 30th, you will need to wait until you check in at registration desk and purchase a fuel sticker, using CASH, when you pick up your registration materials in Ontario, or any of our overnight stops where you register and check-in.   You will then receive the sticker to put on your bike.

Exact change only. No change will be given at the registration desk.

REMEMBER, AFTER APRIL 30TH, NO CHECKS, CREDIT,  DEBIT, or GIFT CARDS ACCEPTED! THIS ALSO INCLUDES FT’S,  NFT’S, AND FOREIGN CURRENCY!

A daily prorated rate for day riders will be determined at a later time.

All Riders please remember to fill up your motorcycles each evening on your own, at your own cost, before arriving at staging in the morning (Spot checks will be happening).  If you don’t have a full tank in the morning, you will be sent away to fuel, possibly missing breakfast and the morning rider meeting.

If you miss the morning rider meeting, you cannot ride with the pack for that day.

 

Morning Meetings

There have been some questions from those that do not wish to ride in the pack but want to participate in the RFTW activities.

If you have registered for the Run but choose not to ride with your assigned platoon, you must stay at least ¼ of a mile behind the last man vehicle. If you decide to ride ahead of the pack, you must do so at least 2 miles ahead of the Road Guard Captain and/or the police escort (if they are in front). By riding outside of the pack, you will not have the support of the chase vehicles, in case you have a mechanical issue or medical emergency.

AGAIN, Regardless of where you ride, if you have REGISTERED for the RFTW and wish to partake in the RFTW EVENTS for that day, you must attend the Morning meetings!

There will be a mandatory rider meeting every morning.  This meeting is to inform the riders of any changes to schedule and any other issues that may have come up the previous day.

Again, this morning meeting is mandatory.

Merchandise

If you have been on the fence about our limited-edition Central Route shirt, pre-sales for this once in a lifetime shirt will end on March 15th.  Some of the proceeds will go to the Central Route for our route expenses. This shirt will not be for sale in Ontario or along the Run.

The Schedule of Events for Ontario and Washington, D.C, will soon be published.

 

Parking in D.C.

Unfortunately, no reserved parking is available this year.  I would recommend you take some form public transportation (Uber, Metro, etc.) to the Lincoln Memorial/Vietnam Wall where our group photo takes place and where we honor our fallen at the Wall. If you decide to ride to the Lincoln Memorial/Vietnam Veterans Memorial, you must park in a legal parking area. Do not park on the grass, in no parking zones, on the sidewalk, etc. If you park there, you may be subject to your bike being ticketed or impounded.  Also, the LEO may notice your RFTW stickers, banners, etc. and make a report of that, possibly jeopardizing future RFTW events in the area.  There will be other Veterans and tourist groups present during the Memorial Day weekend in D.C. so it will be a busy, crowded weekend and parking will be limited.

A reminder that all Camping Spots are full at the Elks Lodge in Ontario. See the notice here

After Action Reports (AAR). You will be hearing more about this in the future, but it is your opportunity as a participant in RFTW to provide feedback about your experience on the Run, both good and bad. All AAR’s are taken seriously and read by the Board and Route leadership. AAR’s in the past have resulted in changes in operating procedures. So your feedback matters.

If you are interested in volunteering to help on the Run, please let me know. I could use backups for all positions in case someone has to cancel or drop out from the Run.

If you are interested in being a part of the RFTW Safety committee, please let me know.

There will be several RFTW board positions coming open this year and the Board is always looking for new people to serve.  All the Board Positions, with their term expiration dates are listed here.

If interested in applying or have further questions, please email the Board secretary at secretary@rftw.us.

Here are some links regarding GMRS radios.

**See this post on Where and What to Buy, and all things GMRS for RFTW.**

**See this Post for Videos on how to Program the radios** or here.

REMEMBER TO DISABLE AUDIO RELAY ON THE RADIO AND MAKE SURE YOUR VOX IS DISABLED!

With the days are getting longer; spring being here in less than a month and the warmer weather; it’s time to get your bike out, get your service done and get ready for RFTW XXXVI!

And don’t forget your March Madness brackets!

Mission Statement

To promote healing among all veterans and their family and friends

Call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War & Missing in Action (POW/MIA)

Honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA)

Support our military people all over the world.

Sandbox Route Coordinator Newsletter – March 2026

Dear Sandbox Riders, Families, and Friends,

Here we are, another month closer to Kickstands Up in May!  As we continue to get closer, planning and preparations are going well and I have no doubt Sandbox Route will be another amazing experience for us all.  Our State Coordinators have been working all year to ensure our supporters are ready for our arrival and know what to expect.  Leaders are finalizing their rosters and meeting with their teams to ensure we’re prepared to execute in May.  The Itinerary Book is almost complete and will be published at the end of this month.

I’d like to take a moment and acknowledge what an amazing leadership team we have.  It takes no less than 30 senior leaders and special staff to make our Run successful.  These positions range from Road Guard Captain, Staging Team Leader, Fuel Team Leader, Leadership Support, the Platoon Coordinator, all Platoon Leaders, Chaplains, Photographer, Sit-Rep Writer, Registration Team, State Coordinators, and too many more to list here.  To be clear, every volunteer who wears an official RFTW hat is considered leadership, and they are all instrumental in accomplishment of our Mission.  There is an excellent description of the hat colors and what they mean here.  The only difference is the Sandbox RC and ARC will wear desert tan-colored hats to signify our Route’s connection to Middle East Conflicts.

As you’ll see when the Itinerary Book is published, there aren’t very many changes from last year.  One change I would like to discuss is a slightly shorter stay time at the Flight 93 National Memorial.  The main reason for this change is to shorten Day 1 as much as possible in the interest of safety.  It’s a very long first day and everyone needs to maximize their opportunity to rest.  We plan to spend 1 hour and 30 minutes at the Memorial which will allow riders to attend the Ranger’s Presentation “A Call to Arms” and ride a shuttle bus for a short visit to the Visitor Center.  Alternately, immediately after we arrive, you can ride the bus up to the Visitor Center and spend more time there.  You can also use any extra time to hydrate, check your equipment, or help somebody else check theirs.

Pre-paid Fuel

After waiting as long as possible to understand what fuel prices should be in May and factoring in generous donations, we’ve decided prepaid fuel will be $65 per rider and will be mandatory again this year.

The cutoff date for paying for pre-paid fuel ahead of time is April 30. After that, you can pay cash at check-in in Ontario or Springfield.  To use Zelle, send the money to Sandbox.Route@rftw.us (don’t forget the dot between Sandbox and Route). Be sure to annotate that it is for “Sandbox prepaid fuel”.  You can also send a check made out to: Run For The Wall, Inc.  Put “Sandbox prepaid fuel” in the memo line and mail to: RFTW Treasurer, 50 Fourth Ave Unit 1445, Dayton, NV 89403.

Promotions Team Leader

We are in dire need of somebody to help with this critical position.  Without an energetic and dedicated Promotions Team, we’re going to have trouble matching the donations we were able to make last year to our very deserving and gracious supporters.  We have some exciting items that will be available for auction and/or drawing, now we just need the right team in place to make that happen.  Polar Bear and I fully understand this can be a thankless job, but please understand how much we need the help.  If you have any questions about this position, please contact me directly.

Sandbox T-shirts

I’m excited to announce our route-specific t-shirts available for pre-sale on the RFTW Store at https://shop.rftw.us/.  Polar Bear and I designed a Sandbox Route-specific t-shirt, a very similar concept to the unit t-shirts worn by U.S. Military personnel.  We think the current design encapsulates the spirit of Sandbox Route, Run for the Wall, and the amazing stops along the route that support us.  It features our logo, a map of our stops, the POW/MIA and KIA/WIA flags, and a reverse-field U.S. Flag on the right shoulder, reminding us of the flag U.S. Servicemen and women wore on their right shoulder when they deployed to the Middle East.  $10 from the sale of every shirt will go to our Route funds, allowing us to donate to the many organizations that support us.  These shirts are for pre-order only, and the window for ordering them will close March 15th to allow time for production and delivery.  Please support us if you can because every little bit helps!

Please continue to get your equipment and yourself ready for kickstands up in May.  If you have any questions, or need advice, don’t hesitate to reach out to your platoon or team leadership.  They are there to help, and we can’t thank them enough!

See you all in May!

Respectfully,

RFTW Southern Route Newsletter March 2026

RFTW Southern Route Newsletter March 2026


Run For The Wall Mission

To promote healing among all veterans and their family and friends

Call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War & Missing in Action (POW/MIA)

Honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA)

Support our military people all over the world

 

All of the RFTW riders are now two-digit-midgets!  73 days until Kick Stand Up!  A term I learned while stationed in Korea and used quite frequently.  I have a lot of information to put out, and hopefully, it will prove valuable to each and every one.

REGISTRATION

As most of you know, the Early Bird registration ended on the last day of January 2026, but you can still register online or at the registration ($120) table in Ontario.  Top Sarge’s registration team will be there to guide you through the process.  If you’re able to register earlier, online, it helps our team and the volunteers that greet us as we make our way across the country to prepare, knowing how many folks will be showing up.  Our Platoon Coordinator, Bravo 6, will be there for platoon assignments, even if you have spoken to one of the Platoon Leaders, Bravo 6 has the final say.  He will, however, do his best to accommodate your requests.  The Ontario itinerary will be available in digital format only this year.  So, put on your computer-whiz hat and start moving those bits around at warp speed!

MERCHANDISE

If you would like to beat the crowds at the Merchandise trailer, order the things you’d like online.  That is done by going to the RFTW website at: rftw.us and clicking on the SHOP tab and you’ll be able to shop and browse to your heart’s content!  Den Mother has put together an outstanding selection of RFTW items, and if you purchase $50 or more, you’ll get free shipping.  The route-specific t-shirts are available by pre-order and pre-payment only.  Carol Olmstead will be heading up where the Merchandise trailers will be parked.  Right now, we have one at the Elks Lodge, one at the host hotel, and the other one will be staged for an early departure on 13 May.  Important notice:  There are route specific shirts that have to be pre-ordered available on the web site now.  Place your order soon.

PRE-PAID FUEL

I strongly recommend using the Pre-Paid Fuel option ($160) for fueling your bikes and bikes only.  I’m thankful that we have a number of folks who won’t be able to ride motorcycles for whatever reason, and still want to ride with us in a cage, but the Pre-Paid option isn’t available to cages participating in the Southern Route.

The most convenient method of payment is by using Zelle, which most banks use.  Mark your payment to southern.route@rftw.us.  Please don’t forget the dot in the address.

The second way is to pay by check made out to: Southern Route Pre-Paid Fuel and send it to the following:

Run For The Wall, Inc.
ATTN: Southern Route Pre-Paid Fuel
50 Fourth Ave, Unit 1445
Dayton, NV  89403

Make sure that your payment is made out to: Southern Route Pre-Paid Fuel.  If there is an overage, those monies will help defray the cost of the fuel for our hydration and support vehicles and for our chase trucks.

You can also choose to pay in person at the time of registration with CASH ONLY – NO EXCEPTIONS!

CHASE TRUCKS

Speaking of our chase trucks, if you happen to use one of our chase trucks, those riders will be responsible for ENSURING THAT THEIR BIKE, TRIKE (and/or) TRAILER is properly secured.  The chase Truck driver will assist in the tie-down, but the ultimate responsibility will be the bike’s rider.  There will be no wavering on this requirement!  Your bike might have particular tie-down requirements the chase drivers might not be aware of.

CAMPING AT THE ELKS LODGE

The camping spots at the Elks Lodge are all taken.  Carol Olmstead is the RFTW POC for all things RFTW in Ontario.  She’s been working for the good part of a year to ensure that our Ontario stay runs as smooth as possible and she handles the camping spots, not the Elks Lodge.  So, please do not call the Elks Lodge.  Carol has it handled.  There is a waiting list, and Carol would be the one to contact if you want to be on the waiting list.

SAFETY AND PERSONAL PREP

With The Run a little over two months away, getting your bike ready for the journey, have your dealer go over your bike to ensure that it is safe and roadworthy.  Load up your bike with your packed bag(s) and hit the road to check the bike’s handling with the load on, and to ensure it will remain secure.

And as we are participants in this year’s Run, make sure YOU are roadworthy!  Personally, I have to carry a boatload of medicines I need to keep me functioning. Please plan ahead so you don’t run out of meds.
Begin to go on longer rides now so you can endure the ride.  This will help get your body and mind deal with the long days in the saddle.

Oh, and HYDRATE HYDRATE HYDRATE!

OPEN POSITIONS

People have heard of the movie, “Desperately Seeking Susan”, we are desperately seeking a Sitrep Writer and a Social Media person.  These positions are necessary to keep the general public aware of where we are and what is happening on the Route, as well as the riders who couldn’t make The Run this year.  If you are interested in being an intricate part of the Southern Route, please contact me, Short, Boots, or Bravo 6 and we’ll get you started.  Both positions allow you to act like a reporter and participate in whatever event we are acting on, take pictures and let the world know what we’re doing and seeing.  There have been stories of family members following their loved ones from home and enjoying the reports to the level of tears of enjoyment.  You don’t have to be a professional writer, just tell it as you see it.

FORUM

The Forum is a good place to get information about The Run and you’ll find folks who are organizing a Run To The Run.  These runs are not sanctioned by the RFTW, but are groups of like-minded riders who want to hone their pack riding skills, while enjoying comradeship and good food on the way to Ontario.  My good friend Jim “Hoofer” McCrain will be bringing his “Hooligans” starting in the central part of Texas.  Hoofer always make his ride very pleasurable.  The forum is also a good place to find roommates if you want to share hotel costs while going across the country.

MISSING MAN FORMATION

This year’s Missing Man Formation Lead is Mike “Bonehead” Kyzer.  If you would like to be a participant in the MMF, please contact Mike.  His number is on the RFTW website (rftw.us), and he’ll give you the particulars on participation and what is expected of those who ride in the MMF.  It was an honor for me when I rode in the formation.

PIESTEWA MEMORIAL

Lori Piestewa was the first Native American female to be killed in action.  Her death happened on 23 Mar 03, in Nasiriyah, Iraq.  The 507th Maintenance Company was ambushed in that village where she was killed along with several others.

The survivors of the ambush were taken captive and held captive for 21 days.

Anyone who is interested in attending the ceremony, please look at the flier for the particulars.  In the past we’ve had RFTW riders attend the ceremony, supporting the family and the former POWs.  This ceremony also celebrates the sacrifices of Native Americans and other service members in the Phoenix area. More details below and a link to more info:  Piestiwa

Thank you everyone for your interest in The Run and taking the time to read our newsletter.

We’re getting closer and closer!

Is it May yet?!?!

Midway Route Coordinator Newsletter – March 2026

RFTW Feature Midway Route

72 Days to KSU!

Can you feel it? We are getting close!

RFTW Mission Statement

To promote healing among ALL veterans and their families and friends, to call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action (POW/MIA), to honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA) from all wars, and to support our military personnel all over the world.

Advice For New Riders

If you haven’t already started, this would be the time to get prepared for the run. Get yourself ready by exercising, walking and most importantly, riding. As the weather permits, try to get some long-distance rides, 100 miles or more at least. Also get used to hydrating by drinking lots of water and electrolytes each day. Make sure your bike is serviced and ready to go. Start going over your packing list and do a trial loadout on your bike. If you are an FNG (Fine New Guy/Gal) you are probably planning to bring too much stuff (we all did our FNG year).

Go over your bike and tighten down all nuts, bolts or connectors of any sort. Blue Loctite will ensure they do not loosen and will keep them from falling off your bike and becoming dangerous, heavy objects bouncing through the formation.

Prepaid Fuel

Yes, Midway is doing prepaid fuel again this year. The cost will be $160.00 and everyone gets to participate.   (That’s just a nice way to say prepaid fuel will be mandatory). There are three (3) ways to pay for prepaid fuel.

1) Use Zelle to send the money to Midway.Route@rftw.us (don’t forget the dot between Midway and Route). Be sure to annotate that it is for “Midway prepaid fuel”.  2) Send a check made out to: Run For The Wall, Inc.  Put “Midway prepaid fuel” in the memo line. Mail to: RFTW Treasurer, 50 Fourth Ave Unit 1445, Dayton, NV 89403  3) Pay cash at check-in either in Ontario or any day you join us on our way to DC. There are no credit card options. CASH ONLY! Please remember, even with prepaid fuel you need to come to Staging each morning with a full tank of gas

We are Still Looking for Volunteers

Midway route is looking for some leadership personnel. I need some dedicated riders to assist me with Promotions and Staging. If you would be willing to assist the Midway riders in any position, please contact your ARC at randy.sheets@rftw.us or go to the Midway website and fill out a volunteer sign up form. You will gain a sense of fulfillment that only comes with sacrifice and service to your family.

Special Participant for 2026

John Philip Baca
Medal of Honor recipient for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War.

Heroic Actions

On February 10, 1970, during a night ambush mission, Baca’s platoon was attacked by enemy forces. In the midst of the chaos, a fragmentation grenade was thrown into the group. Without hesitation, Baca covered the grenade with his helmet and then laid his body over it, absorbing the blast and saving the lives of eight fellow soldiers. His extraordinary act of bravery and selflessness directly prevented serious injury or death among his comrades.

John is also the recipient of the Silver Star and Bronze Star Medals for gallantry in combat.

John has decided he wishes to travel for the last time to the Vietnam wall with the Midway route.
Please take this opportunity to shake his hand and welcome him to the Midway family.
He will be working with the Outreach Team by attending visits to Veterans hospitals, Gold Star families, Children homes and many other locations our outreach team travels to extend our mission.

Welcome to the Midway family, John

New Merchandise

There is a Midway specific riding shirt now available in the merchandise store on the RFTW website. This is a pre-run item so it will NOT be available in the merchandise trailers. Please take advantage of celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Route 66, The 12th Anniversary of the Midway route and the 35th Anniversary of the Gulf War.

It is one of a kind and will remind you, through the years of this great 2026 Adventure.

Registration

We still have participants that have told me there are going on the run with Midway this year but have not registered. I understand that we are all busy, and as the time gets closer, we will get busier. However, please take 10 minutes of your time and register on line. It would help me and your leadership team works its magic at supporting all our family members on the run. Remember the old NIKE ad “Just Do it”

Americans are generally procrastinators and wait until the last minute to do things we know we need to do. However, in this case, the longer you wait the more impact it has on our great supporters across this great nation. So, PLEASE get it done. With that said, if you have potential conflicts that preclude you from registering now, you can register any time between now and checking in when you arrive in Ontario.

Registration Rates for Coast to Coast Routes

  1. Regular Registration – $120 per person
  2. Day Riders (up to 3 days on the road riding) – $100 per person

Route Itinerary

Your State Coordinators, ARC and I have just completed our final review of this years itineray and satelitte picture reviews of each stop during the route.
We found some very small corrections that were required and will be submitting our route itinerary to the Board shortly. When the routes are approved, they will be added to our Midway route page for your download and review.

Two things to remember about the itineraries. Paper copies used to be handed out at registration/check in as part of your registration package. The After Action Reports (AAR’s) and general comments led efforts towards development of a QR code capability for all riders.

You will be issued a card with a QR code on it that will go in your plastic carrier along with your emergency information form that you will be required to carry around your neck. This QR code opens up to a copy of your route itinerary. This will offer easy access to emergency numbers, chase vehicle information, if required or just a quick review of stops and events happening each day.The QR code on page 4 of the itinerary opens up to safety information you need to remember as a member of your route, so no more losing your itinerary, leaving it laying on a table at one of the stops or having it just fly out of your pocket while riding down the road. It will be easily available for your needs all the time.

Break outs on the Second day in Cookeville

You will have your choice of three break out rides on Day two of our stay in Cookeville, Tennessee. Each will be listed seperately in the published itinerary. When the itineraries are released, please take the time to review each break out and decide which one you wish to participate in. Just between you and me, they are all great!

Your platoon leader will be approaching you, In the future so we can get an idea how how many participants will be riding in each breakout. This will assist our supporters in preparing meals and other presentations/events in your honor. This is just a “Heads up”

Rolling to Remember (Formally Rolling Thunder)

We will be providing an opportunity to attend Rolling to Remember this year, probably shortly after the Sandbox route goes KSU on the 24th of May. Our initial contacts with Amvet coordinators are extremely positive and there may be a possibility we get to ride close to the front of R2R, which is exciting. Again, if you have never participated in this event, it is something to remember. More to follow!

After Action Reports (AAR’s)

You will be hearing about AAR’s in great detail as we get closer to KSU. However, I want you to know that AAR’s are a tool developed for you to give us your opinion or professional review of just “How we accomplished our duties” at providing you a safe, efficient, exciting, life changing adventure across our nation.

Even though it is named an After Action report, it is also your voice on what we have done and how we are doing. So you can use this tool as your voice to tell us just what is on your mind and your opinions.

These are read by the Board of Directors and handed to the Route Coordinators for review, comment or direct contact if further conversation/knowledge is required so rest assured these are taken very seriously. None of us is perfect and all opinions are taken very seriously so we collectively work towards making this mission the absolute best we can, year to year. Please use this capability at your discretion.

I will remind each of you to please submit one at the completion of the run to tells us what you think of “How we did” and what we can do better.

Donations

We can still use more donations to support this years run. Please reach out to all individuals who can support this mission to assist veterans, Gold Star families, Blue Star families, POW families, veterans currently residing in care facilities, and schoolchildren who, through no fault of their own, experience food insecurity and borderline malnutrition.
I just had a conversation with someone who just received a $15,000.00 grant from the Stater Brothers grocery chain. All she did was ask!!!!!

So let’s try asking. The worst one can say is no!!

We’re still looking for collectible, unique items that we can use to help us raise funds to support our mission. If you know of anybody who might be able to donate such items, please let them know it would be very much appreciated and help us make donations of our own to our supporters and other worthwhile charitable organizations we encounter along the way. Once we get items together, we’ll decide how they can best support us and figure out a way to offer them to our riders through auctions and drawings. All of this fundraising allows us to operate the Midway Route and keep costs down.

If you can find it within yourself to ask the question, please use either Zelle that most banks have available and submit the donation to: Midway.route@rftw.us.

If you prefer to pay via check, please mail it to:

Run for the Wall, Inc.
Attn: Midway Route 2026
50 Fourth Ave Unit 1445
Dayton, NV 89403

Ontario/DC Schedule of events

The events and meeting schedules are being developed as we speak. The Elks lodge in Ontario has once again stepped up and meals are being planned, meetings and registration will be conducted at the lodge. Many meetings and gatherings are additionally planned for the host hotel. Midway will be the first route to begin the run on the morning of 13 May at 0700 from Lot D.
Refreshments and coffee will be donated and available at morning staging prior to the morning schedule and KSU.

In DC, we will again be hosted by the American Legion Post 176 in Springfield, VA with meals and meeting rooms. Registration will be conducted at the ALP, times and rooms will be forthcoming.

We again will be selecting riders to take their bikes to Arlington National Cemetery, take a photo at the Lincoln Memorial, have a ceremony for the end of RFTW 2026 at the apex of the Vietnam Memorial.

Please stay tuned and as these events formalize, I will get you the information immediately so you can plan to participate.

Think about who you are riding for.

“We ride for those who can’t”

Remember that we are on a Mission that requires all of us to work together and help each other to be successful. Set your own wants and needs aside and reflect on the hardships and commitment of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country free.

I get more excited each day as we get closer to May. I interact daily with your leadership team and want to assure you that they are working diligently to make Midway 2026 the best experience for you, whether you are an FNG or a returning rider. They deserve your gratitude!

We are in the “two digit” territory. That is military lingo for, time is getting short! The closer we get, the faster time will fly so I strongly recommend that you get those things that you know you need to accomplish completed or they can rapidly turn into last-minute emergencies.

“Stop Procrastinating” It is time to re-energize and re-engage

“Say Their Name”      “Tell Their Story”         “ Never Forget”

Is it May yet?

President’s Message – March 2026

RFTW BoD President John "Turkey" Staub

RFTW Mission Statement

To promote healing among ALL veterans and their families and friends, to call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action (POW/MIA), to honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA) from all wars, and to support our military personnel all over the world.

RFTW Philosophy

We strive to maintain a safe, supportive and private atmosphere in which all participants can reflect and heal on their journey to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. and the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial in Marseilles, Illinois in the hope they can return home to a new beginning.

Okay, so Punxsutawney Phil and the other rodents couldn’t get their winter-versus-spring predictions aligned. Darn rodents, anyway. But do not despair. May is right around the corner, and each of us needs to be ready. This is just another friendly reminder to get yourself, your gear, and your bike ready. The BTech GMRS-Pro radio has a new firmware release, 0.9.2, released January 29, 2026. Now might be a good time to check your radios, headsets, PTT buttons, and the rest of your gear.

This year, we recognize the 35th anniversary of the start of the Gulf War. I remember where I was and how old I was that January night. While reviewing our most recent rider statistics, it was interesting to see the current average age of our 1991 Gulf War veterans. After some research, I was surprised to learn that the average age of our 1991 Gulf War veterans is currently 50-55. Most Gulf War-era veterans (specifically those serving in 1990-1991) were in their 20s or 30s during the conflict, placing them in the 45–54 or older age range today. When we consider those ages, it helps explain why we are struggling to attract those veterans. People in those age groups are generally in a “family and career-focused” stage of life, with a focus on work and family activities, rather than taking almost 3 weeks to participate in an event such as RFTW. That was one of the reasons we started the Day Rider program: so that people who don’t have time to go all the way can still participate. When we speak about RFTW, we need to remember that while it is a C2C and Wall2Wall mission, we also welcome Day Riders. All the Way is great, but our Mission is to be as encompassing as possible. The Day Rider program is a great way for a parent or grandparent to introduce youngsters to our organization and what patriotism really looks like.

In the November 2023 newsletter, we presented information on Navy Capt. Royce Williams, the Korean War hero who, in 1952, led his squadron on a mission resulting in 4 confirmed kills out of seven Soviet MIGs in an engagement that remained classified for decades. The Navy originally awarded him the Silver Star in 1953; on January 20th, 2023, it upgraded his Silver Star to the Navy Cross. As early as 2014, many senior leaders believed his actions warranted the MOH. In 2022, the MOH upgrade action received approval by the House through the Defense Authorization Act. The House then forwarded the approved amendment to the Senate. The good news is that the upgrade action was finally approved!!  Capt. Williams will be receiving the Medal of Honor!

On February 21st and 22nd, we held our winter “Face-to-Face” (F2F) via Zoom. These meetings are critical to planning and executing a successful Mission, as we ensure that all RFTW leadership is up to date on plans, changes, and new items, and we also share thoughts and ideas. While the Mission of RFTW has remained consistent and solid over the years, the organizational structure has remained quite dynamic. These changes are often driven by increased demands from our riders for improved and expanded automation and information-sharing technology, as well as changing societal expectations and contributions.  When one considers the reduction in volunteers, the struggles to secure donations, and the decline in riders, balanced against the need to conduct a safe, well-organized Mission, I strongly believe our leaders and volunteers deserve a big thank-you for all they accomplish.  I can report that our planning for RFTW 2026 is coming along quite nicely. We’ve even started discussing how to capitalize on some additional opportunities for 2027.  But first, we need to get through 2026!

Another discussion focused on how we can keep our costs down while still safely conducting the Mission. One example is the Glo-Gloves our Road Guards use. Each year, we purchase and issue dozens of these gloves, not always to First-Year Road Guards. Starting in 2027, Road Guards must turn in an old pair of Glo-Gloves to receive a new pair. We don’t buy these gloves so they can be worn all year long; they are specifically for use while on the Run. If properly cared for, these gloves can last 4 years or longer.

As I mentioned last month, our Day Rider program was suggested by one of our “elder statesmen” and has been well-received. During the recent F2F, we discussed opportunities to fine-tune the program. While those changes won’t happen this year, stay tuned as we work to implement some suggestions to improve the program next year. On a very positive note, one question we’ve received several times asks whether our RCs are prorating the mandatory fuel stickers for Day Riders. The answer is a resounding YES! Each C2C RC will prorate fuel sticker costs for Day Riders. Sandbox doesn’t offer Day Rider, as they are only on a 3-day mission, much like a Day Rider on a C2C route.

You may have heard that we will not be able to participate in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall Washing this year.  We were essentially bumped in favor of a group from the Secretary of Defense’s office.  We do anticipate being able to participate in Wall washing in 2027.

Did you know there is an organization in England like RFTW? Ride to the Wall (RTTW) is an annual UK motorcycle charity event held on the first Saturday of October, during which riders travel to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to honor over 16,000 fallen service members. It serves as a powerful, inclusive, and emotional act of remembrance, raising funds for the site’s upkeep. While RTTW.org and RFTW.us are different organizations, our missions are closely aligned. If you are interested, please visit the Ride To The Wall website. You can even register to receive their newsletter via email.

We often receive comments about the need to attract our younger veterans, often phrased somewhat differently, but that is the essence of the question.  The RFTW Podcast with Boots and Hitch continues to reach thousands of folks, and Boots and Hitch are looking to expand that reach. I don’t want to take away their thunder, but I anticipate them taking advantage of additional opportunities to “get the word out”.  Perhaps you’ve seen the latest ads on various social media platforms.  As Hitch begins to “dip her toe into those waters”, the number of those reached is promising. Look for more and even better ads.

Speaking of new things, have you seen the new route-specific shirts in the Merchandise Shop?  Designed by folks from each route, each shirt sale generates a donation to that route.  This is a great opportunity to support your route or to purchase one of the good-looking shirts from another route.  Angie has been working hard to make this a success.  These shirts are a one-time opportunity.  They will NOT be carried in the merchandise trailers; they can only be purchased through a pre-order process.  Don’t miss out on an opportunity to support your route!

If you haven’t yet heard, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) St. Paul Regional Office would like to extend an invitation to you and your colleagues to attend an informative presentation regarding VA benefits and services, to include a special briefing on allowances available to Former Prisoners of War (FPOW). This presentation will cover a range of topics related to VA benefits.

As a final thought, I’d like to share some thoughts on a very special group of people who are at the core of our Mission Statement – the Next of Kin and Gold Star Families.  All of us, especially our Outreach and Ambassador teams, encounter many people who have lost family members in service to this great nation.  A core tenet of our Mission is to honor them, help them heal, and ensure they know that their loss and the sacrifice of their family members are not forgotten but instead remembered by a grateful nation.  We believe it is important to emphasize to our leadership and teams that we use deliberate language when describing a Next of Kin family or a Gold Star family.  RFTW uses the definitions for each as outlined in long-standing public law.

    • Next of Kin: Approved by Congress in 1973, A Next of Kin family is one that has suffered the loss of a military member who died while on active duty or Reserve/National Guard drill status in circumstances other than KIA.  Next of Kin families may be presented with a “Next of Kin Lapel Pin” that looks like this:
Next of Kin Lapel Pin
  • Gold Star Family: Per Title 10 USC 1126, Gold Star family members are those whose immediate family member lost their life “while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force…” or “an international terrorist attack against the United States…” as well as other circumstances. Gold Star Families may be presented with a “Gold Star Lapel Pin” that looks like this:
Gold Star Lapel Pin

We do not suggest or advocate that anyone correct someone’s language when discussing this very sensitive subject. Still, we need to be careful with our own language to avoid perpetuating misinformation.  Our RCs have been asked to ensure that their morning briefings follow these definitions.  Please keep in mind that if you meet a member of the public who misidentifies a lost family member, it is not our place to correct them; instead, be compassionate and treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve.

POW/MIA Recovery Update (as of 26 February 2026): The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) continues its dedicated efforts to recover and identify remains from all conflicts.  As of this update, there are still 1566 unaccounted for from the Vietnam War, along with six missing from the Gulf War and Libya. Our four-part Mission begins with the call for accounting – those servicemembers are our friends, their families are our families, and they deserve our support.

Let us dedicate ourselves and our efforts and remember to keep our focus on the Mission. It is why we ride!

It is not the worst thing to die in war; it is not the worst thing to be missing in war. The worst thing is to be forgotten in War.

‘No one left behind’ is more than just a standard we strive to meet. It is a way of life. It is part of our Mission. If you or someone you know finds themselves struggling with mental health, please know you can contact the VA Veteran’s Crisis Line by dialing 988, then pressing 1, or texting 838255 to speak or chat with a qualified responder.

Say Their Names – Tell Their Stories – Never Forget.

Back to Basics. Back to the RFTW Mission.

Is it May yet?

See you in Ontario!!!!

Midway’s Mid-Month Roundup – February 2026

RFTW Leadership Positions

Why?

A simple question that many riders hear when they participate on the run, no matter what route. 

 

“Why ride across the country?”

There are many answers and reasons given; for my buddy or buddies, for a family member, it’s something I’ve gotta do…and they go on. 

 

But the one that is rarely spoken is

‘because it’s my responsibility’. 

Lt. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle summed it up the best quoting “There’s nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer”, describing and honoring the courage, dedication, and selflessness of individuals who serve without obligation, often highlighting how volunteers may not have time, but they have the heart.

Every position within the Run for the Wall organization is performed by a volunteer, someone who willingly chose to inquire and perform or was asked and accepted the request. Each position, every task, all having different roles and responsibilities with a single common goal; to safely deliver all the participants, riders, drivers, and passengers alike, to their intended destination.

Although many participants are veterans from many different eras and backgrounds, and yet many more are patriots that have not served in the military but support the overarching mission. It would be easy for veterans to fall back into their past routines of leadership through mission necessity and success; however, a people-first approach is used focusing on empowering, supporting, and developing team members rather than exercising top-down control. 

During any given year more than a thousand riders attend the run and ride among the 4 different routes, but not every rider has the same experience or skills as the rider next to them. Being able to listen to one another and understand oneself and others situational context allows everyone of such diversity to come together as a group and organization. Many participants run to help heal wounds from the past while each volunteer will help to foster wholeness and personal growth within them and among all team members. These are just some of the key principles of being a Servant Leader.

From Staging to the Road Guards who manage. 

Platoon Leaders to the Ambassadors who keep.

Leadership Support to the Fuel Teams who perform.

Medical Teams to the Chaplains who provide.

Leadership unites and brings them all together.

Whether you are trying to close a chapter in your life or starting a new one, you will always have a family looking out for you.

Becoming a leader within the organization or route is completely voluntary, and very rewarding. Most positions simply need you to ask to be a part of. There you will be given the necessary tools, knowledge, and coaching to carry out the tasks. Other positions are more skills oriented where you are observed and invited into the position based upon your skill set and abilities. Any and all of them are still voluntary in nature and rewarding by the heart. All of them different with the same ending goal, to provide safe passage of all participants to their intended destination.

If you are thinking of doing more than participating in your platoon and have run your route in full, please consider volunteering as you won’t regret your decision. All you need to do is navigate to your Route Hub under the Routes tab on RFTW.us and fill out the questionnaire within Volunteer Sign-Up. 

It may just give you another reason to answer the question ‘Why?’ when someone asks again.

-FNGs! (Fun New Guys/Gals)

83 Days until KSU (kick stands up).  That’s 2 months and 24 days…

Have you been saddle training? What has been your longest ride? Are you riding consistently yet to get your body use to riding long distances? (i.e. saddle training)

We’ve discussed bike maintenance and riding gear preparations. How about rain gear?

Do you have specific rain gear for riding, a supermarket poncho, or maybe just an oversized trash bag with arm and neck holes?

Whatever the gear may be, have you worn it while riding, rain or shine? The importance of this is not only to be prepared for inclement weather that may or may not be encountered, but testing the durability of your gear is essential. Will it hold up to the wind whipping by while on the road? Will it shred and become a hazard to the riders behind you? Or will it simply be too annoying to wear or cumbersome to put on and discourage you from even using it?

Believe it or not rain gear can be used in several different manners while riding across country. Not only can it be used to shed water from you in a rainstorm, but it can also be used as a barrier in higher elevations, cooler temperatures, or even heavy fog. Having an effective barrier to prevent water, wind, and even cooler temps from your skin will help you stay dry, warm, and a whole lot more comfortable.

You also need to pay attention to your Road Guards and leadership at stops, morning meetings, or just about anywhere on the trip. If you see them putting on their rain gear, they know something is coming. You may want to follow suit and put on yours as well.

Stay safe, stay warm, stay informed.

-Midway Leadership Messages

We are looking for a few good riders who are willing to step and support our mission in a leadership position. These are critical positions and require someone who truly supports the mission of the Midway route. You can find volunteer sign up forms on the Midway web page. The following positions are available: Promotions Team, Medical team, Staging Team, Chase vehicle (Midway will pay for gas from Ontario to DC), Honor Guard Coordinator, Oklahoma Assistant state Coordinator.

2026 Hotel List

PRE-PAID FUEL

The Route Coordinator (Wind Dog) has chosen to increase the Prepaid Fuel cost for this year.  Coast to Coast will be $160 and it will be Mandatory. Even though gas prices have declined in certain parts of the country, the great concern and unknown is California. Refineries are closing and regulations are tightening on the remaining gas producers. To ensure we do not have to be financially constrained because of the uncertainty, he has increased the cost by $10.00 this year. If he finds that we are financially OK, he will use any surplus to pay the cost of the fuel for the chase, Hydration and support vehicles, which are a route cost anyway. If you choose not to participate you will be fueling at a pump NOT controlled by the Midway fuel team. You will be issued a Pre-paid fuel sticker at registration by a fuel team member indicating that you have paid for fuel. This will be attached to your windshield (Clutch side) just below your platoon number. Not only is Prepaid fuel very cost-effective in the big picture, but it also helps provide a safer and more efficient stop at the pumps!  If you would like to go ahead and check this off of your To Do List and your bank uses Zelle (Most financial institutions have this capability), mark your payment to midway.route@rftw.us. Please be sure to include Midway – Prepaid Fuel in the For line so that we can allocate the money correctly.

If you prefer to pay via check please mail it to:

Run for the Wall, Inc.
Attn: Midway Prepaid Fuel
50 Fourth Ave Unit 1445
Dayton, NV 89403

Be sure to state that your payment is for “Midway Prepaid Fuel” so we can allocate it accordingly.  If you prefer to pay at Registration Check-In either in Ontario or wherever you join us, please note we will ONLY ACCEPT CASH.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

Until next time,

Ride Smart

Ride Safe

Keep the rubber side down & the shiny side up!
