In 1978, Dave McGillivray began his first cross country journey, running 3,452 miles in 80 days from Medford, OR, to Medford, MA - his hometown. Forty-two years later we're virtually retracing his footsteps with the Medford2Medford: Run Across America, and we’d like you to join us. Participants can register as individuals or as part of a team to virtually run/walk/bike their way across the country.

Run any of the three distance options solo or with a team, and watch on an interactive map as your crew progresses across the continental U.S.

Registration is open and we’ll be running through August 29—it isn’t too late to join. And in the spirit of Dave’s 1978 run during which he raised $100,000 for The Jimmy Fund, we hope you’ll join us in raising some much-needed funds for a number of organizations close to our hearts, or perhaps one that’s close to yours!

The
Event

EVENT STORE

When the endurance industry saw event after event canceled in the name of public health and safety, virtual events began popping up. Virtual road races of all distances are giving self-isolated people a reason to get out the door and be active. So why register for the M2M? Because DMSE Sports knows road racing. We know what motivates athletes, we know the technology needed to create a robust experience, and we know how athletes deserve to be rewarded. For nearly 40 years, DMSE Sports, under the leadership of Dave McGillivray, has been a leader in sports event management, specializing in creating and producing mass participatory athletic events throughout the U.S. and abroad. Simply put, this is what we do.
