Event summary

Join us for the "Got Your Six Virtual Challenge 2024," taking place from September 1 to September 29, 2024, in South Jordan, Salt Lake. This uplifting multi-discipline event encourages participants to walk, run, crawl, or ride while raising awareness and supporting veteran suicide prevention. In the spirit of camaraderie, participants can complete their chosen distance—whether it's 6 miles, 6 kilometers, or even 6 inches—at their own pace and from the comfort of their favorite local trails.

The challenge not only honors the sacrifices made by our military heroes but also supports a worthy cause, with all donations benefiting K9s For Warriors, a remarkable organization that provides trained service dogs to veterans facing PTSD and other challenges. Together, let’s make a difference in the lives of those who served our country. Join us in this inspiring virtual journey and show your support—because when it comes to our veterans, we’ve got their six!

Organiser's description

The "Got Your Six Virtual Challenge 2024" is a multi-discipline virtual event hosted by the Health Catalyst Military, Veterans, Families, and Allies Affinity Group (MVF&A). This challenge is aimed at raising awareness and preventing veteran suicide. Participants can walk, run, crawl, or ride to show their support and honor the sacrifices made by those who have served in the military. The term "got your six" is military slang, meaning "got your back," and reflects the camaraderie and support within the military community.

Participants can complete the challenge independently and at their own pace from the comfort of their neighborhood or favorite trail. Log your miles, feet, meters, or inches, and share your experience with our Health Catalyst MVF&A Slack Channel. Our only rule is that it must be in an increment of six (6 miles, 6 KM, 6 feet, 6 inches). The deadline to complete your distance is SEPTEMBER 30TH. 9/30/2024.

All donations from the event will be donated to K9s For Warriors, dedicated to providing highly-trained service dogs to military veterans who have PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and military sexual trauma. Whether you walk, run, crawl, or ride, your participation will help raise awareness and make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country.
