Veterans2Victory is a new cohort-based initiative created by Dare2tri for injured veterans — and led by injured veterans. Through the unifying power of sport, this program fosters transformation, connection, and growth.
Over the course of three months, veterans will train for three key paratriathlon events alongside a community of fellow service members. With an emphasis on accountability, mental wellness, and goal-setting, Veterans2Victory empowers participants to push their limits and forge lasting bonds.
Led by elite paratriathletes and veterans Melissa Stockwell and Adam Popp, the program provides holistic support—on and off the racecourse.
What’s included?
- A 3-month customized training plan
- Weekly one-on-one check-ins with a coach

Participants will also receive entry, travel, lodging, and race uniforms for the following events:
