Run For The Wall

East Texas

Route, Viewing, and Community Support

Run For The Wall is a cross-country ride from California to Washington, D.C., and the Southern Route brings the riders through East Texas and into Longview for a refueling stop and lunch. We encourage the community to safely gather along the route, overpasses, and other appropriate areas to show support as the riders pass through.

Please be respectful of traffic and follow all local safety guidelines when choosing a viewing location. Bring flags, signs, and your appreciation. A strong showing along the route makes a lasting impact on the riders.

After refueling, riders will arrive at the Gregg County Fairgrounds for a scheduled stop that includes a private lunch and a brief presentation. This is a great opportunity to gather, meet the riders, and be part of the mission.

Run For The Wall will travel through East Texas primarily along Interstate 20, maintaining a steady eastbound route. As they approach Longview, the riders will exit I-20 and transition onto Highway 31, heading directly into town for their scheduled stop.

In Longview, riders will arrive along Highway 31 and make a brief stop to refuel before continuing on to the Gregg County Fairgrounds for a quick lunch and a presentation. From there, the convoy will depart by retracing the same route, returning to Highway 31 and back to Interstate 20 to continue east.

Supporters are encouraged to gather along the route and on overpasses to show their support. For safety, consider choosing overpasses without exits or those with lighter traffic. Please do not block traffic, ramps, or shoulders, stay well clear of the roadway, and park only in safe, legal areas. Keep flags and signs secure and out of traffic. A visible, respectful presence along the route is one of the most meaningful ways to support the riders.

Run For The Wall Longview is proud to be hosted by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4002 and the Cantina. Their support and hospitality help make this stop possible as riders traveling across the country continue their mission of honoring veterans, raising awareness for POW/MIA issues, and promoting healing among all generations of veterans.
