Run With Purpose. Honor the Mission. Save Lives.
BKVF IS RETURNING TO THE 2026 MARINE CORPS MARATHON
Sunday, October 25, 2026 · Washington, D.C.
Last year, together we surpassed our $50,000 goal. This year, we’re raising the bar – because our veterans are always worth fighting for and every mile our runners take is a promise that they never have to fight alone.

SUPPORT TEAM BKVF
Not a Runner? You Can Still Make an Impact.
You don’t have to run to make a difference. Every donation helps connect veterans with critical mental health resources, support services, and programs – helping ensure they can access the care they need, when they need it, without barriers.
Want to do even more? Reach out to us for your own personalized fundraising page and rally your friends, family, and community to support veterans alongside you.
Every dollar. Every mile. Every effort. It all makes a difference.
OUR WHY.
The Marine Corps Marathon is more than 26.2 miles – it’s a tribute to the men and women who have served, sacrificed, and continue to fight battles long after their service ends. Team BKVF runs with purpose: to honor their commitment and stand alongside them in the fight against veteran suicide.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Brothers Keeper Veteran Foundation provides veterans with mental health support, wellness programs, resources, and a community built on healing. We believe every veteran deserves access to care, regardless of financial barriers.
