10,000 Miles.

This is what it looks like when Extreme goes all in.
Bond’s Extreme Journey™ is a 10,000‑mile bike ride to every NFL stadium, carrying one football across every mile that connects us. It’s a bold expression of what Extreme Networks stands for: going further, pushing harder, and showing up for the communities we serve.
Because at Extreme, we don't just build networks, we go to extremes for the people who rely on them.
One official NFL football travels the entire route. By the time it reaches Seattle, it carries the signatures of every community, every stadium, and every player who joined the journey — delivered on-field at kickoff.
An Extreme Journey That Connects America
Few things bring America together like football.
The NFL doesn’t just play in cities. It anchors them—where culture, commerce, and community meet. But America isn’t defined only by cities; it’s defined by the roads between them.
Bond’s Extreme Journey connects every mile that matters: one rider, one bike, one football. From Miami to Seattle, linking the game, its stories, and communities.
This journey is about more than the miles. We’re going to extremes for good.
Throughout the ride, Extreme Networks goes to extremes to make a difference, supporting organizations that reflect our values and the communities we serve.
