Tour of Valor — Touring Rally 2026

About the Tour of Valor Touring Rally

The Tour of Valor is a touring rally with a patriotic character -- a multi-day ride that visits veterans memorials, historic battlefields and military sites across its route, combining meaningful destinations with the pleasure of extended motorcycle touring. The rally draws a strong community of veteran riders and supporters of the military community, and typically includes organised rides to specific memorial sites and ceremonies along the way.

Touring rallies of this kind represent one of the most rewarding formats in motorcycle culture -- a shared purpose beyond the riding itself, combined with the camaraderie of a multi-day group journey. Participants typically convoy in sections, stay at pre-arranged accommodation, and gather each evening for organised dinners and presentations. The structure means riders arrive knowing other participants and leave with connections that extend well beyond the event itself.

The Harley-Davidson touring community has a long connection with veterans causes. Many H.O.G. chapters organise veteran support rides and charity events throughout the year, and rallies like the Tour of Valor bring these values to a national scale. The route from Pensacola, Florida northward to Madison, Wisconsin passes through significant historic terrain -- the Civil War battlefields of Georgia and Tennessee, the wartime industrial heartland of the Ohio Valley, and the Great Lakes region.

Riders planning the Tour of Valor typically stage over two to four days depending on their starting point. Those riding from the Gulf Coast have the option of routing through Nashville and the scenic countryside of middle Tennessee, while riders from the east coast can join via the Appalachian foothills before swinging west. Global Rider members attending can connect through the platform before departure to coordinate travel and arrange convoy sections from their region.
