Were especially excited to share that all proceeds from this years race will go directly toward our 2026 initiative: building an expanded video library that represents a diverse range of abilities.
This project will allow participants of all abilities to see themselves reflected in workouts, access safe and effective training, and feel fully included in the fitness community. By supporting this race, youre helping us take a bold step toward making fitness truly accessible for all.
