Cookeville is proud to once again welcome the incredible riders of Run for the Wall as they make their way across the country on a powerful mission. Each year, this cross-country motorcycle ride brings together veterans, families, and supporters who are “riding for those who can’t”, honoring those who were killed in action, supporting our military, and advocating for POW/MIA awareness.
This year marks the 12th annual visit of the Midway Route to our community and we’re especially honored that Cookeville is their only two-night stay along the journey.
Help us line the streets of Jefferson Avenue as the riders make their way through Cookeville to the Putnam County Convention Center for a private event. Your support means the world to these riders and the mission they carry.
Riders
are “riding for those who can’t.” Many are veterans riding in honor of
those MIA or KIA, or are riding as therapy for PTSD. Many are Vietnam
veterans who never received a proper "Welcome Home." The
Cookeville-Putnam County Visitors' Bureau invites you to line the
streets with smiling faces and waving American flags to provide them
with the "Welcome" they deserve.
