As the 2021 Legacy Run approaches – if you haven’t registered yet, you can do so here – more and more American Legion departments are staging their own in-state Legacy Runs to bring in money for The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund.
The Department of West Virginia staged its first-ever state Legacy Run in May, raising over $15,000. Kansas also had another successful state ride, bringing in around $32,000. The efforts have earned the praise of National American Legion Riders Advisory Committee Chairman Mark Clark, who will serve as the national Legacy Run’s chief road captain Aug. 22-26.
