Naval Academy midshipmen plan this year to make their longest run with a game ball to the Army-Navy matchup just outside of Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly 200 midshipmen from the sea service school are set to make the trek from the academy in Annapolis, Maryland, to Foxborough, Massachusetts, ahead of the 124th Army-Navy game on Dec. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roughly 450-mile journey will cross through seven states and begin the Tuesday before the game, Midshipman Andrew Bacilek, the ball run commander, told Military Times. He and other midshipmen, largely from the academy\u2019s 13th Company, are set to endure frigid temperatures as they take turns dashing with the pigskin up to New England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re not stopping just because it\u2019s a little bit longer,\u201d said Bacilek, who is set to make his third ball run this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Army-Navy game has been held multiple times outside of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/smr\/army-navy-game\/2022\/12\/09\/army-marathon-team-to-run-game-ball-to-philly\/\" target=\"_blank\">its traditional location in Philadelphia<\/a>, this matchup is believed to mark the furthest run for the midshipmen since the tradition began in the 1980s. They did not reportedly jog cross country to Pasadena, California when the game was played there in 1983.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The runners this year again will split the course, with each taking various 8-to-12-mile legs until their scheduled arrival at Gillette Stadium on the morning of game day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1550\" height=\"964\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Army-Navy-5k.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Army-Navy-5k.jpg.jpg 1550w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Army-Navy-5k.jpg.jpg?resize=300,187 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Army-Navy-5k.jpg.jpg?resize=768,478 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Army-Navy-5k.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,637 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Army-Navy-5k.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,955 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1550px) 100vw, 1550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members of the Army West Point Marathon team run with the U.S. Naval Academy\u2019s 13th Company during the 5-kilometer esprit de corps route to finish the Army-Navy Ball Run prior to the 2020 Army-Navy Game.

say we take pride in,\u201d said Midshipman Will McCrate, executive officer of the ball run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He, Bacilek and other company leaders needed to think through the logistical challenges of racing along a route the group has not attempted before, including coordinating vans to follow the runners with supplies and connecting with local police and fire stations in the various towns they pass through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat drew me to want to participate in this in a leadership role is this is such a unique event,\u201d said McCrate, who emphasized the camaraderie the ball run builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether the midshipmen can sustain cheers of \u2018Go Navy\u2019 and \u2018Beat Army\u2019 through the multi-day marathon remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midshipmen from the Naval Academy are making their longest ball run yet to this year\u2019s
