Take a Victory Lap With Us
Victory Lap is Dare2tri’s signature fundraising event—a vibrant evening of celebration, connection, and community. Held at Chicago’s iconic Old Post Office, the event honors the power of sport and the achievements of Dare2tri athletes.
What is Victory Lap?
Victory Lap is more than a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of movement, resilience, and possibility. The evening includes inspiring stories, athlete recognition, and opportunities to support Dare2tri’s year-round programming.
Proceeds from ticket and sponsorship sales directly support adaptive athletes by funding equipment, coaching, race travel, and community programs—helping athletes of all experience levels cross their own finish lines.
Our 2026 Guest of Honor
Every year during Victory Lap, Dare2tri honors a member of the para sports community with the One Impacts Many Award. In 2026, Dare2tri is proud to honor Danelle Umstead.
A multi-time Paralympian and founder of Sisters in Sports, Danelle Umstead has used her remarkable athletic career to champion greater access and opportunity for athletes with disabilities. Through her advocacy, mentorship, and commitment to inclusion, she has inspired countless individuals to pursue sport with confidence and determination. Her leadership, perseverance, and lasting impact on the adaptive sports community embody the spirit of the One Impacts Many Awar
