Help Build the Journey
A Long Road for a Brighter Tomorrow.
2,800+ miles.
70 days.
One runner.
One cart.
On October 17, Zac Deel will leave Bristol, Tennessee and begin a 2,800+ mile journey to Los Angeles, traveling alone and pushing his gear in an expedition cart. We're building this expedition from the ground up, and every bit of support helps get him one mile farther.
Can't Donate Money, No Worries! You can still Help!
Not everyone is in a position to make a monetary donation and we completely understand.
This journey takes a lot more than money. Zac will be spending roughly 70 days on the road, and there are plenty of things he’ll need along the way.
If you’d rather contribute items or supplies, we’d be incredibly grateful.
Things like running gear, hydration supplies, nutrition, first-aid supplies, camping and outdoor equipment, batteries, personal-care items, or other expedition essentials can make a huge difference. I will post a list of needed supplies here soon!
Sometimes the best way to support the journey isn't writing a check.. it's giving Zac something he actually needs to keep moving.
If you have something you think could help, reach out to us. We’ll let you know what we currently need and how you can get it to us.
Every contribution matters. Every mile matters. And every person who helps becomes part of the journey.
This isn't a Vacation, it's an Expedition.
Why Support?
Zac is taking on something that requires more than running shoes. Food, hydration, equipment, lodging, safety gear, communication, cart repairs, replacement gear and unexpected challenges are all part of crossing the country on foot.
We're doing everything we can to find sponsors and donated equipment, but there will always be expenses that can't be covered with products or partnerships.
That's where you can help.
📡 SAFETY & COMMUNICATION
Satellite tracking, communication and safety equipment.
🚨 THE UNEXPECTED
Because when you're walking/running across America for 2,800 miles+, something is eventually going to break. 😂
🛒 CART & EQUIPMENT
Repairs, replacement parts, storage and expedition gear.
🏕️ LODGING & RESUPPLY
Safe places to sleep and supplies along the route.
💧 FOOD & HYDRATION
Daily nutrition, water and electrolytes.
🏃 RUNNING GEAR
Shoes, socks, clothing and recovery equipment.
What Your Support Helps With...
SPONSOR A MILE
Claim part of the Journey
2,800+ miles. One runner. One cart. One long road home.
Every mile Zac runs from Bristol, Tennessee to Los Angeles, California has to be earned. By sponsoring a portion of the journey, you’re helping put another stretch of road behind him, and reminding him that he isn’t doing this alone.
Your support helps with the real costs of the expedition. From food, water, and running gear to lodging, resupply, equipment, and the unexpected challenges that come with spending 70 days on the road.
And we want you to know exactly where your support goes. Throughout the journey, we’ll be recognizing the people, families, and businesses who sponsor portions of Zac’s miles. Your name or business can become part of the story as those miles are completed, shared, and documented along the way.
Pick a stretch. Back the journey. Put your name on the road.
Every dollar helps. Every mile matters. And when Zac reaches Los Angeles, the miles he ran will carry the names of the people who helped him get there.
