2023 Legacy Run
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Legacy Run Postponement
Due to the impending risk of thunderstorms on Saturday, we have made the difficult decision to prioritize the safety of all participants and postpone the event. We share your disappointment, as this run is not just a tradition, but a way we come together to support the children of our active military members and veterans.
Please bear with us. We will be discussing a new date for the run during our upcoming monthly meeting, Thursday, September 14th and will update you all as soon as we have details.
Thank you for your understanding, continued support, and commitment to the cause. Stay safe and we look forward to riding with you soon!

6th Annual Foliage Run
The American Legion Riders Post 259 is proud to host our 6th annual Foliage Run in support of American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The mission of AFSP is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by Suicide.
Suicide is a public health issue that affects all Americans. Did you know?
- On average, 17 American Veterans lose the fight against suicide each day.
- There is one death by suicide in the US every 11 minutes.
- Suicide takes the lives of over 48,500 Americans every year.
- An estimated 285,000 Americans each year become suicide survivors.
- Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US for all ages.
All proceeds of this run will go to help the AFSP fund research to improve interventions, train clinicians in suicide prevention, and advocate for policy that will save lives.
On Saturday, October 10th we ride for those who have lost their lives too soon to suicide and to bring awareness to the cause!
