The Leg Captains determine the routes, hotels and stops. To answer your question, it has been suggested to end leg 7 around Harrisonville, MO.

It is time to start preparations for V2V 2023! It will be the Twenty Third run of this VMC event. I am honored to be the coordinator. Securing leg captains is the first step in planning this event. If enough leg captains volunteer, we will proceed with planning this event. Leg captains are responsible for planning the route, choosing a hotel, as well as selecting gas and lunch/dinner stops. If you are interested in being a leg captain or assisting with a leg, please reach out. In 1921 the Victory Highway Association was organized The Associations purpose was to create a transcontinental highway in honor of the men and women who served in WWI. The route later became known as Route 40. Now, more than 100 years later, parts of the original Route 40 have been replaced with interstate roads and other highways. The 13 leg relay will run from west to east this year. The information below suggests approximate start stop points. The start and end destinations of each leg are up to the leg captains.

Three people completed all 13 legs in this one year! I believe they need a round of applause and special recognition. In the last group beach picture (above) they are from left to right. Dave Crew Kat Cornell Jason Cornell Brent Fletcher (on the right) has completed all the legs in one year before also. Possibly more than once. Brent will need to clarify that.

The 22nd Victory Highway Relay is complete!
