3 New Veteran Races Added This Week (Aug 14)
Operation WarriorFit provides free race entries to veterans, service members, and first responders, connecting eligible athletes with events across the country at no cost. Three new races just joined the lineup this week, spanning mountain bike enduro, road running, and gravel cycling, and are now open for entry requests through OWF.
MBAA Tucson Enduro
Tucson, Arizona | October 25, 2026 | Cycling (mountain bike enduro)
This mountain bike enduro race takes place at Molino Basin Campground near Tucson and is produced by the Mountain Bike Association of Arizona. Entries are donated as part of the OWF partnership, shared with the Sunrise Enduro. Normally $100 to enter, free for eligible members through OWF.
Veterans Marathon, Half Marathon & Heroes 5K
Columbia City, Indiana | November 14, 2026 | Half marathon (also offers a full marathon and Heroes 5K)
Now in its 18th year, this road race runs on a USATF-certified, Boston-qualifying course in Columbia City and is operated by Race Beyond Limits under director Kim Harding. The event donates 50% of profits to AMVETS Post 2919 and 25% to the Columbia City Fire Department, and each year's race is dedicated to a specific military branch. Normally $60 to enter, free for eligible members through OWF.
RELIANCE Deep Woods Gravel Grinder
Reliance, Tennessee | April 23, 2027 | Gravel cycling
A gravel grinder hosted by Tennessee Gravel in Reliance, Tennessee. Normally $75 to enter, free for eligible members through OWF.
That's a mountain bike enduro in the Arizona desert, a long-running road race and Boston-qualifying course in Indiana, and a gravel grinder in the Tennessee backcountry, three very different ways to get moving with OWF behind you.
