Because we believe in a stronger America at every finish line, we strive to promote and work with other American and local based companies for all of our race needs.

Born from the unmistakable spirit of Major Dan Rooney, it embodies the start of a better way of living—a way of improving this country we all call home. It’s about creating a life that answers to individual choices in support of personal liberty. Today, the Volition America mission is experienced through our series of half marathon events. Tomorrow, and every day forward, it’s proudly displayed as a badge of honor.Join a movement dedicated toward a life of mental, physical and patriotic distinction
