The Friday Lineup

This week we have a grit city community stair climb, an island race through Honolulu and a mountain race through Utah. Have a great weekend!

Community Race Spotlight: Unleashed at Stadium Bowl

Shared struggle unifies us. Regardless of religion, gender, political affiliation or skin color, struggling together creates a connection. That is Brian Nelson’s mindset behind Unleashed at Stadium Bowl. You can watch Brian’s ted talk here in which he mentions that he feels most comfortable when punishing his body.

In addition to the main Unleashed stair climb event (814 steps up + 814 step down for a total of 1,628 steps) there is a Heroes Race which includes elite 3-person teams across military, firefighter, and law enforcement fields. All participants must wear a weighted vest (40 lb for men, 20 lb for women) while completing the same 1,628 steps. Now that is inspiring!

2023 Participants of Unleashed at Stadium Bowl

📆 August, 2024

📍Tacoma, WA

Why Run? 

Character: Character is the aggregation of 1000s of promises we make to ourselves. I will not quit. I will confront the world, fearlessly.

Connection: Authentic connection is rare. We live guarded, our egos protect our world-facing identity. Running 1,628 stairs strips us all bare. We demonstrate heroic virtues of courage, perseverance, openness, discipline, and purposeful effort. We live up to each other’s effort and find connection, safety, and joy.

Community: Community is built upon focusing on our similarities, not our differences. When we work on our own character, and deepen connections with others, a community is the outcome. A community of trust, compassion, and cooperation is what changes the world for the better.
