Team Red, White, & Blue (Team RWB) is joining the OC Marathon as one of our 2025 charity partners! They are more than just a community – they are a movement. Founded by Veterans, Team RWB understands firsthand that many carry a mission-first mindset from their service, often causing them to neglect their own health in the process. Since 2010, this organization has been empowering Veterans, Service Members, military families, and supporters to lead healthier lives through fitness events, training, and programs. With over 250,000 members and more than 19,500 annual events, Team RWB is America’s health and wellness community for Veterans. They believe that Veterans aren’t broken; they’re capable of extraordinary things. Their proactive, upstream approach ensures that every Eagle (what they call their members) is equipped to take on challenges and prioritize their physical health, mental health, purpose, and relationships. 

As an Eagle, you’re part of a supportive team that values accountability, motivation, and the opportunity to serve. Whether you’re reconnecting with a sense of purpose after military service or pushing yourself to achieve new fitness goals, Team RWB provides the tools and community to help you succeed. Their events, local runs, and national challenges are open to all fitness levels, helping Veterans rediscover their strength and build camaraderie. From their in-app community to in-person fitness opportunities, Team RWB ensures that no Veteran faces life’s challenges alone.
