Run for the Wall

On Tuesday May 23rd, the veterans’ motorcycling organization, Run for the Wall, will pass through downtown Corydon on the way to the Harrison County Fairgrounds for dinner and a ceremony. The riders are on a ten-day journey to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., where they will convene with other participating motorcyclists from across the country.

Harrison County residents and visitors are invited to welcome the motorcyclists by lining the sidewalks of Capitol Avenue in downtown Corydon. Their expected arrival time is approximately 5:30pm. Updates on the event will be posted on the Harrison County Convention & Visitors Bureau Facebook page, as they are made available to us, or call 1-888-738-2137 for more information.

The riders will be escorted through downtown Corydon from I-64 exit 105 by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department. Several organizations, including local veterans’ groups, are assisting with any needs the riders might have during their stay in Corydon. The Harrison County Convention & Visitors Bureau will provide the Run for the Wall participants a grab-and-go breakfast on the morning of May 24^th before they continue their ride.

Currently, there are 472 riders registered for Run for the Wall’s central route – which passes through Corydon – and they plan to meet with an additional 1,000 or more riders from three other routes, in Washington D.C. on May 26^th.
