Team RWB Launches ‘GWOT 100’ Challenge: A 100-Mile Fitness Challenge Honoring Veterans
Complete 100 miles in February while unlocking first-hand accounts of Global War on Terror history
FLOYDS KNOBS, Ind. – November 11, 2025 – Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB), America's leading health and wellness community for the military-connected community, today opened registration to its inaugural GWOT 100, a nationwide honor-based fitness challenge that invites Americans to move 100 miles during the month of February 2026.
Participants can run, walk, ruck, bike, swim, or row 100 miles (or equivalent distances) while unlocking exclusive stories and historical moments from the Global War on Terror (GWOT) told by the Veterans who lived them.
GWOT 100 is continuing the legacy of the Taji 100, which began in 2010 as a friendly 100-mile competition among troops at Camp Taji in Iraq. The GWOT 100 will carry their mission to motivate people to move, build community, and honor service through shared effort forward.
“The Taji 100 inspired thousands of people to push their limits and move with purpose,” said Michael “Sully” Sullivan, Executive Director of Team RWB. “With the GWOT 100, we’re carrying that flag forward, honoring those who served while inviting the entire nation to take on one mission, one month, and 100 miles together.”
The 2026 GWOT 100 will focus on the Sunni Triangle region of Iraq, home of Camp Taji. As participants log their miles, they’ll unlock first-hand accounts and key moments from history to connect the physical challenge to the real-world stories of courage and sacrifice that defined the era.
