Why We Race
The Green Beret Foundation provides financial resources, immediate need supplies, caregiver assistance, and educational scholarships to wounded or ill Army Special Forces warriors and their families.
About the Race
Race Across the West (RAW) is a shorter version of RAAM. RAW travels the first 930 miles of the RAAM route and is a RAAM qualifying event. RAW was started in 2008 to offer a race longer than 500 miles and to help bridge the mileage gap to RAAM.
