Operation Knuckle Dragger:
Turning Struggle into Strength

100 Miles. 4 Days. One Critical Mission.

Operation Knuckle Dragger (OKD) is not just a challenge — it’s a tribute to those who’ve served and a rallying cry for those still fighting battles off the field. This 100-mile, multi-sport endurance challenge through Wyoming’s backcountry pushes veterans and first responders beyond their limits — physically and mentally — to raise awareness and funding for life-changing mental health support.

WHY IT MATTERS

🔸Every day, 44 veterans die by suicide.
🔸Over 50,000 veterans have died by suicide since 9/11.
🔸More than 300 first responders die by suicide each year.

The battlefield may be behind them — but the fight isn’t over.

Operation Knuckle Dragger is our powerful mission in action — a bold answer to a growing crisis.
Funds raised through this event directly support:

🔸Trauma recovery programs
🔸Crisis intervention and peer support
🔸Access to alternative health treatments
🔸Long-term resilience training that saves lives

This isn’t just about surviving — it’s about thriving after the fight.
