On 10 September 2010 six runners set out from New York with the intention of reaching LA by 11 November. In a unique challenge which stretches 3,530 miles, six brave guys will be running to raise a substantial amount of money for injured service men and women returning from current conflict.

Each runner will cover 16-22 miles per day in relay formation, completing up to 88 miles a day and the equivalent of 34 marathons each over the two month period. The team will run continuously for a 63 day period covering 4 time zones, 3 deserts and 10 mountain ranges.
