American National Chairman Mark Clark is urging Riders to take part in the Legion's .
“Whether you walk, run, or ride 250 miles, I encourage every Rider and every ALR Chapter to participate and to lead the way in their community,” Clark said. “As National Commander Dan Wiley often states; ‘we are better together’, and the ALR has been proving that for more than 30 years. So let’s get moving and let’s do all we can to support the USA 250 Challenge.”
