Honoring Our Heroes
A Tradition of Service, Community, and Respect
Our triathlon and obstacle course races honor and support Military, Veterans, and First Responders—those who have given their best for our country. For over 40 years, we’ve built strong relationships rooted in dignity, respect, and American values. With a spirit of community and a commitment to continuous improvement, we proudly give back to those who serve.
