RUN FOR THE WALL

May 16 - May 27, 2007
Run For The Wall is in its’ 20th year.
Run for the Wall is most known for it’s Rolling Thunder motorcycle parade into Washington DC, but we veterans know it as motorcycle rides from west coast to east coast, and from different places, north and south, within the USA in order to thunder a message to Washington DC to never give up efforts to find POW/MIA from current and past wars and convince Washington politicians to, one way or another, always bring our troops home!

The Run For the Wall always culminates with a Rolling Thunder Protest Ride from the Pentagon to the Wall on Memorial Weekend. (Mainstream media calls it a parade but organizers prefer protest ride so you’ll remember this is a mission - a huge mission!).

Bikers USA visited the RFTW arrival in Roanoke Virginia and took photos. See RFTW Photos.

If you are a long distance rider, on your way back from the Run for the Wall, you might want to work Ohio Bike Week into your plans. They usually have a 3 day ride that makes it pretty cool for those bikers who want to join up with the ride in from other points such as Michigan, Canada, New York, Pennsylvania, and New England. Bikers USA is even considering a ride in from the south, (the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, at the end of May.  For information about the block party in Niagara Falls, please see New York Bikers. Information about the first overnight stop in Windsor, and camping at the second overnight stop in Port Dover will be posted soon, so please check back for more information.

Estimated Attendance: Over 500,000. It’s not a party. It’s a mission to pay respect to those who have fallen and call attention to issues regarding the POW and MIA that are not accounted for after each war or conflict. We want a full accounting for every POW and MIA.

The new interactive maps for the routes taken by the Run For The Wall are cool! There is one for the RFTW Central Route and one for the RFTW Southern Route.
