The Relay for Heroes was born from a vision shared by a group of endurance athletes with a passion for making a difference in the lives of others. Participants push their physical limits to raise money and awareness for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. The Relay for Heroes began in 2016 as a relay race around New York City’s Central Park. This year the Relay for Heroes will be a 12-hour event with its home base at the world famous Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. The race will follow a route along the banks of New York City’s Hudson River, with teams competing to run as many miles as possible within the 12-hour race.

The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund serves United States military personnel experiencing the Invisible Wounds of War: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS). When our Servicemen and women return from the battlefield, we help them fight The War Within, by building “world class”, advanced treatment centers providing the best TBI and PTS care, enabling them to continue to serve on Active Duty and enjoy a productive life.
