Challenge Courage is “Celebrating Strength & Courage”. Train & Race for “Courage & Strength for Life’s Challenges”! Exercisers and athletes, fulfilling their RxExercise, are stronger than they would otherwise be, stronger in body and heart. We can each train and race to be stronger and therefore better prepared for life’s challenges.

Read inspiring stories at the CC web site of those who are better meeting a variety of life’s challenges, challenges like arthritis, cancer, depression and diabetes, because of their RxExercise, athletic training and racing.
