This event is an “in person” event to be held at the Las Positas College on Sunday, September 28, 2025 at the LPC Track and Field from 9 am to 12 pm.

The primary objective of the 2.2 for 22 Challenge for Veterans Expo is to raise awareness about veteran suicide and to help prevent it—highlighting the tragic reality that an estimated 22 veterans take their own lives each day.

Participants will receive a 2.2 for 22 T-shirt and a commemorative finisher medal or challenge coin. Event organizers strongly encourage participants to complete as many challenges as they can or even attempt all of them. Participants are also welcome to join or create teams to enjoy the event together.
Participants are encouraged to share pictures of themselves taking on the challenges using the hashtag #CHALLENGE22FORVETERANS

The entire event will be held “in person,” featuring a new obstacle course challenge that will test participants’ physical, social, and emotional capabilities.

Our annual 2.2 for 22 Challenge for Veterans will be held virtually for the first 20 days of the event beginning on October 1st, 2023, followed by an in-person closing event at the Las Positas College Track and Field on October 21, 2023 from 9 am to 12 pm.

The primary goal of the 2.2 for 22 event is to raise awareness about the distressing fact that 22 veterans succumb to suicide each day. While the event initially focused on engaging the Las Positas College community and the local area, it became evident last year that the message resonated well beyond these boundaries. Participants from various parts of the United States and even service members stationed as far away as Afghanistan took part in the event. Notable sponsors for the event included the Safeway Foundation and the Rotary Foundation.
