This year, give him an experience he'll never forget, that finishes with an awesome medal he can hang in his man cave (you know...the man cave you decided NOT to get him for Father's Day...just sayin').

Use code DAD15 for 15% off any regularly priced registration.

Happy Father's Day dad!

Momentum is excited to partner with for this year's Battle of the Brave!

You'll be seeing their Captains and Angels at the starting line.

MY TEAM TRIUMPH-Northern Indiana is part of a global non-profit organization that supports people with diverse disabilities who benefit from being able to participate in endurance events such as a 5k, 10k, marathons and triathlons. Our goal is to provide any support needed for an individual with varied abilities to experience the thrill of crossing the finish line, something so many of us take for granted. We are excited about our new relationship with The Arc Wabash County and the ability to offer the experience of racing across Northern and Central Indiana to their clients.

Looking forward to making a Meaningful, Engaging, and Memorable experience with their Captains and Angels!
