What is Atlantic Triathlon (USAT Sanctioned)?
Today Steelman Racing hosts 5-6 events per year, including a trail race, 3 open water swims, and a triathlon.

It’s no secret that Thanksgiving day is the biggest running day of the year. And in the Philadelphia area, the Greater Philadelphia YMCA has traditionally hosted a local Gobble Wobble across several locations. In 2024, they’re continuing to refine their events, with a new location launching and big revenue and donation growth goals for returning locations.
