Dare2tri athletes had a huge weekend at the 2026 USA Paratriathlon National Championships in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
60 Dare2tri athletes competed, 32 finished on the podium, and 10 claimed first place finishes across the Paratriathlon Championship and Adaptive Triathlon Division 1 fields.
It was an incredible showing from a group of athletes who have put in the work all year at Dare2tri camps, practices, and events. We couldn’t be prouder of the entire crew.
