Geary County CVB Marketing Specialist Rick Dykstra informed Geary County Commissioners Monday that the annual Run for the Wall will be May 18, 2025 in Junction City. 

This event involves cross county motorcycle riders traveling from California to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. For many years they have made Junction City one of the overnight stops on the trip.

At Dykstra's request the commission approved the expenditure of $2,000 to support the event and another $100 to purchase a gift and a plaque for Dave Eckel, thanking him for his 15 years of service helping coordinate Run for the Wall. The 2025 event will be his last in that role.&nbsp;
