Escort to Arlington Challenge

In 2021, Wreaths Across America is launching the Stem to Stone Arlington Challenge, travelling 737 miles from the Wreaths Across America Headquarters in Columbia Falls, Maine to Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia- just like the convoy!

This Challenge begins on March 1, 2021 and concludes on December 18, 2021 - National Wreaths Across America Day. Over the 293 days, participants will be responsible to walk, run or bike for an average of 2.51 miles per day!

How Does It Work?

Log your miles over the 293 days, with an average of 2.51 miles per day while purposefully running, walking, or biking in honor of a Veteran.

Follow your progress on an Interactive Map as you head to Arlington.

For your efforts, you will earn Virtual Badges along the way while reaching various Milestones.  Additionally, we have an awesome Challenge shirt and finishers medal for those completing the Challenge!

Become a Fundraiser, Create/Join A Team, & Support Wreaths Across America!
