HOW WE SHOW UP FOR EACH OTHER

SHARED MILES.
SHARED RESPECT.

These expectations apply at our gatherings, in private site conversations, and when representing our community.

Make room for everyone.

Veterans and nonmilitary neighbors belong equally. Welcome different backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels. Harassment, discrimination, threats, and pressure to share personal experiences have no place here.

Respect someone’s story.

Listen without demanding explanations. Let people choose what they share. Ask before taking or posting identifiable photos, and respect a no. Don’t share another person’s messages, contact details, or personal information without permission.

Move with care.

Read the event details, follow the announced route and organizer’s directions, and respect other people using the space. Ask about pace groups and route access before attending. If you leave early or need a different route, let the event host know.

Keep plans up to date.

RSVP when you plan to attend and cancel if your plans change. Check the event page for weather or location updates before leaving. Children, pets, and guests may have different arrangements at each event; ask first.

Raise a concern.

Tell the event host about an immediate issue at a gathering. For a community question or concern, start a private conversation with the organizer. Share only the details needed to understand what happened.
