Operation WarriorFit exists to lower the barrier standing between veterans, service members, and first responders and the start line: we cover race entry fees so cost is never the reason someone sits out. Every week, new race directors around the country partner with us to open their events to our community, and four new races just went live in our lineup this week — one gravel grinder in Tennessee and three road races clustered around Shelburne, Vermont.
RELIANCE Deep Woods Gravel Grinder (Tennessee Gravel)
Reliance, TN — April 23, 2027 — gravel/cycling. Normally $75 to enter, free for eligible members through OWF.
Shelburne Farms 5K
Shelburne, VT — September 27, 2026 — road running.
Saucony Charlotte Covered Bridge Half Marathon & 5K/10K
Shelburne, VT — September 12, 2026 — road running. Normally $30 to enter, free for eligible members through OWF.
Union Bank Field House Fall Half Marathon & 5K/10K
Shelburne, VT — October 24, 2026 — road running.
Three of the four new additions are in and around Shelburne, Vermont, spanning distances from a 5K up through a half marathon, all this fall. If you're local to the Green Mountain State, take a look at the full current slate of Vermont races — there may be more happening near you already in our system.
Farther south, the RELIANCE Deep Woods Gravel Grinder brings a gravel cycling option to eastern Tennessee for spring 2027, giving plenty of lead time to start training. Browse the complete, current roster of races we support at all races to see what's opening up nationwide.
If you're a veteran, active-duty service member, or first responder and any of these races fit your calendar, request a free entry at eligibility — it only takes a few minutes to check whether you qualify, and there's no cost or obligation to ask.
