Join veteran athletes from our team at this local event! See you there!

The 3rd Annual OSPF Ruck Walk invites you to turn participation into teamwork by creating a Ruck Walk squad with your coworkers, family, friends, or community group.

Teams bring energy, connection, and shared purpose, helping amplify awareness and support su***de prevention efforts for Ohio’s veterans and first responders.

Whether you’re walking together in Columbus or rallying support from afar, every squad helps move the mission forward.

Because no one should carry the weight alone, and no one has to show up alone either.

Who are you bringing with you on October 10? Register now: https://ow.ly/aWPM50ZgcL6

"Big Wheels" Jeff Mirka gettin' it at Akron BMX Track state qualifier!!

Pro tip from Coach David Schmidt: "In the second pic, you can see Big Wheels looking well into the turn, bike and body committed. The other rider is not looking far enough ahead…. Bike and body not committed."

Great way to wrap up the Dublin Irish Festival… The City of Columbus Police and Fire "Pipes and Drums" came and played next to our "Defenders Den" tent… And right next to our VALOR Racing team table! Lots of people taking photos and videos with our team banner in the background!
