Twenty-five years after Band of Brothers brought the story of Easy Company to millions, experience their remarkable journey in a whole new way with the 2026 WWII Challenge: Easy Company!

Presented by the Crescent City Classic in partnership with The National WWII Museum, this year’s virtual challenge honors the paratroopers of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. Retrace portions of their historic path, from training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, to locations across Europe, including England, Normandy, the Netherlands, Bastogne, and the Bavarian Alps, and learn of their acts of courage and heroism along the way.  

Easy Company traveled more than 2,400 miles during World War II. Their campaign has been transformed into a virtual challenge you can complete wherever you are—with a 103-mile course for individuals and a 730-mile course for teams.
