Routes
Nine named routes, each obeying the one rule of the calendar: one stop per date. Prices are planning estimates per person, double occupancy, with connecting travel included on named routes. We do not sell tours; book through our links or ask about escorted routes.
Six firsts, eleven nights, three legs with breaks at home. The most any one person can see in person.
The Full Run without Nashville.
Four women firsts. Swap Atlanta for Columbus if you prefer.
A Caribbean start, then two Southern capitals.
Three Black governors in eight days. Swap the Virgin Islands for Madison to see Plaskett.
The Native American, Latino and Latina firsts.
Three Southern capitals, one car, all by road.
Ten days apart; drive the Deep South between them or fly.
One flight in, one drive, one flight home.
Routes are named for the states they cross, never for the people. Every governor's party is on their card on The Eleven. Filter by it below if you like; we don't.

The stop menu
Each stop covers hotel nights, local ground transport, ceremony and ball access where it exists, a city captain, and your stamp. Flights are not included; add them on the travel page.
