CONQUER A MOUNTAIN
MORE THAN JUST RACING. MORE THAN ONE RACE. RUN PAST YOUR LIMITS TO SAVE LIVES.
Warriors’ Ascent is proud to announce the Hero’s Journey Race Series; a year-long fundraising challenge that empowers alumni, supporters, family members, and friends to push beyond their comfort zones while helping veterans and first responders heal.
Participants choose a race, ruck, hike, cycling event, endurance challenge, or other fitness goal to complete during 2026, set a personal fundraising target, and receive a customized fundraising page and campaign toolkit from Warriors’ Ascent. Every dollar raised helps provide life-changing Warriors’ Ascent programs at no cost to those we serve.
Whether you’re tackling a local 5K close to home or joining Team Warriors’ Ascent for the Pikes Peak Ascent—our premier challenge and culminating event in September—you’ll become part of a community committed to growth, resilience, and service.
Participants set fundraising goals ranging from $500 to $5,000+, earn Team Warriors’ Ascent gear and recognition, and join a nationwide movement dedicated to restoring, strengthening, and helping others ascend.
Participants are responsible for their own event registration, race fees, travel, lodging, and other logistics associated with their chosen challenge. Warriors’ Ascent provides the fundraising platform, team support, marketing resources, and community that help make the journey meaningful and successful.
Join us in 2026 to challenge yourself, support those who serve, and take another step toward your best self.
DIFFERENT APPROACH, SAME MISSION.
We are fielding a running team of our own—Team Warriors’ Ascent. With our new approach that allows team members to sign up with any race, anywhere—we’ve kept the excitement of a destination race while still adding more opportunities to save more lives! Run your race, on your schedule, and join WA supporters all over the country in saving lives while experiencing personal growth.
GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS YEAR WITH LAST YEAR’S PHOTOS!
We may have changed our fundraising model to be inclusive of more people, but we know one thing’s for sure—if you loved following or running on Team Leadville, and if you love supporting those who’ve served, you’re really going to love the Hero’s Journey Race Series!
