The mission of the '2026 Run for America : A Tribute to the American People' is to engage big cities and small towns honoring everyday Americans and veterans, encouraging unity while highlighting the enduring spirit of our Nation through media and storytelling for a renewed appreciation for America's shared history.

From Maine to New York to Montana to Oregon, the People have responded overwhelmingly with enthusiastic welcomes, significant media coverage, dozens of police and fire department escorts, and millions of social media views.

Across the final 14 States, Noah has remained determined and resolute through injuries, weight loss, and many weather conditions including the bitter cold, snow and wind of the Northeast and Midwest, and rain and heat in the Northwest.

Noah runs solo, pushing a jogging stroller with supplies with an 8 foot pole and large American Flag which was flown by the United States Air Force, 70th Air Refueling Squadron on a KC-46 Pegasus on a mission in October 2025.
