What Is Operation WarriorFit?
Operation WarriorFit (OWF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to serve veterans, active-duty service members, Guard, Reserve, and first responders. OWF provides structured fitness programs, mental health resources, and a supportive community — helping those who served find their next mission after the uniform comes off.
OWF partners with over 200 races nationwide to provide free and discounted race entries for service members. But the work goes far beyond race day — OWF builds lasting programs that address the physical and mental health challenges unique to the military and first responder communities.
Operation RaceDay exists as the racing arm of OWF. We handle the races. They handle the mission. Together, we're building something that matters.
