The VMC is excited to announce that the V2V and the National Rally will be held together this year by "Meet in the Middle"! V2V will begin on June 19th with a break in the middle at Colorado Springs for the National Rally. (See the schedule below) For room reservations, please call the hotel directly at 719-598-5770 and use the code "Victory National".
About The V2V
In 1921, a group of American citizens formed the Victory Highway Association to create a transcontinental highway to commemorate American Forces members killed in action during World War 1. The highway, which operated between 1921 and 1938, underwent numerous configurations and iterations, using existing and specially constructed roads, bridges, and ferries. This highway would be known as the Victory Highway and it crossed the country between New York City and San Francisco, California.
In the spirit and celebration of all veterans, and those who gave us their ultimate sacrifice, the Victory Motorcycle Club is pleased to announce the 26th Annual Victory Highway Relay “V2V” for 2026. This year’s thirteen-leg journey will begin near the East Coast shores of Virginia Beach, VA, and finish at the West Coast in San Francisco, CA. A jar of eastern sand will be merged with the west coast beach sand, a V2V tradition.
The V2V is open to all riders, regardless of the make and model of your motorcycle. Come out and enjoy any of the individual 13 riding legs. Each leg will be led by a leg captain who will lead riders through unique routes between points where the V2V relay baton will be passed. Riders are encouraged to ride any leg or ride the entire V2V. If you plan to ride this year, expect a good ride, meet new friends, reacquaint with old friends, wear some event swag, and of course, sit down for refreshments and food! If you can’t ride this year’s event, follow your fellow riding brothers and sisters' journey, who will be tracked with a GPS tracker. The Spot link will be posted before the event.
Navigate to THEVMC.com, and see the postings in the events forum under the Victory Highway Relay V2V threads. Posts will be completed as the information is finalized. Each leg will include a thread introducing the leg captain and hotel information (for reservations and the starting point), and most will consist of key points of the expected route. The V2V hopes to see you on the journey and wishing your ride to be your BEST EVER!
Please note that the V2V is broken down into multiple legs. You can participate in one leg as it passes through your area, or take a longer trip and have fun with other members across multiple legs.
