Saturday, September 12, 2026 | 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Open to athletes 18 and under, this adaptive try-athlon is a fun and challenging event for kids who are overcoming physical challenges.

Join us for this inclusive experience that is sure to bring you joy! Meet Me At The Finish Line is an event open to all of our young athletes around the community that have mobility deficits or for children who are not afforded the opportunity to participate in community events due to physical, social, or emotional barriers. This try-athlon is designed to allow kids the opportunity to push themselves to the limit and inspire self-confidence in mobility while creating memories that will hopefully last a lifetime. 

Each athlete will swim, bike and run in this three-event race that not only promotes fitness, but improves self-confidence as participants cross the finish line on their own.
