Did you set a lofty New Year’s Resolution to lose some extra poundage? Are you willing to raise money to support the troops and their families in exchange for a little help meeting your goal?
If so, TEAM USO is ready to grant you entry into and help you train for some of the most challenging and sought-after marathons, triathlons and obstacle course races in America.
A new addition this year is the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. Set against the natural beauty of San Francisco, this triathlon is a virtual postcard of the City by the Bay and is consistently ranked as a favorite event among triathletes. It features a 1.5-mile swim from Alcatraz Island to the shores of the St. Francis Yacht Club combined with a grueling 18-mile bike ride and an 8-mile run through the trails of the breathtaking Golden Gate Recreational Area.
TEAM USO also has entries for 20 Rugged Maniac obstacle course races near major metropolitan areas around the country. Combined with favorites like the Marine Corps Marathon and the New York City Marathon, the whole family is sure to find a race to enjoy.
“Of course, all of our Team USO events are fun, but the Rugged Maniac events are a great way to get a big group of people outside for some exercise while raising money for troops and their families,” said Team USO Program Manager Kymberly Jordan. “A group of friends can really make a day out of it.”
Whether you want to run, walk or just get dirty, now it is easier than ever to find a way to support our troops. Register now and join fellow TEAM USO members in raising money to make the lives of America’s brave servicemen and women and their families a little bit easier by providing programs and services through USO centers worldwide.
Every day, America’s service members selflessly put their lives on the line to keep us safe and free. Please take a moment to let our troops know how much we appreciate their service and sacrifice.
