#22KILL Vet Run is a one-day motorcycle fundraising event that’s open to everyone who supports veterans. You don’t have to ride a motorcycle to come support.

Single rider registration is $22, or $25 with a passenger / sidecar. If you want to ride along in a vehicle, you can register for $10. Any donations simply to support are welcomed and appreciated.

There will be live music, food & drinks, and a 50/50 raffle. Don’t forget to purchase a ticket for a chance to win a #22KILL Ducati.
