Honoring Our Heroes
A Tradition of Service, Community, and Respect
Our triathlon and obstacle course races honor and support Military, Veterans, and First Responders—those who have given their best for our country. For over 40 years, we’ve built strong relationships rooted in dignity, respect, and American values.

Learn more about the host city, Hammond.
Hammond is a Chicagoland city of some 76,000 people (2019) in Lake County, Indiana—bordering Chicago's Far Southeast Side. Most visitors will find themselves passing through or on business, but Chicagoans would do well to include it in a close-in Lake County day trip, if for no other reason than to get some good food, perhaps stock up on fireworks, and realize that Chicagoland doesn't stop at the state line!
