Partners & Friends

At Leon’s Triathlon, we are proud to stand alongside an incredible community of partners and friends who help make America’s Race possible. Their unwavering support fuels our mission to honor military service, empower paratriathletes, and celebrate the spirit of inclusion and perseverance.

From generous sponsors and dedicated nonprofits to local organizations and national brands, each partner plays a vital role in creating a race experience that is both impactful and inspiring. Together, we are building more than an event—we’re building a movement rooted in unity, resilience, and shared purpose.

We invite you to meet the organizations and individuals who help bring Leon’s Triathlon to life year after year.

The United States Army and The United States Navy

We are profoundly humbled and blessed to have the backing of both the United States Army and the United States Navy. Both of these arms of our military were founded in the year of 1775. The United States Army was established on June 14, 1775, and the United States Navy was established on October 13, 1775. We commemorate their 250 years of service to our great nation.

Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs

“I was humbled to attend the 2021 Leon’s Triathlon. The dedication and strength visible in hundreds of veterans who have sacrificed so much for their country, their community and their neighbors made me proud to call them brothers and sisters. Their motivation shows to the rest of us that we can do anything and do it well if we dedicate ourselves to that task. I have each of the triathletes in my prayers that they may finish the race every day of their lives.”

Thank you,
Dennis A. Wimer
Director, Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs

American Warrior Initiative

American Warrior Initiative (AWI) is honored to partner with Leon’s Triathlon to support our nation’s heroes—both two-legged and four-legged. AWI is dedicated to giving back to service members by volunteering, raising, and placing service dogs with veterans in need.
Founded by one of their own, AWI thrives on employee support and community involvement, ensuring that those who have served our country receive the assistance and companionship they deserve. Their Puppy Raisers program is a heartwarming example of how dedicated volunteers prepare these incredible dogs for their future roles in serving veterans.
At Leon’s Triathlon, we believe in uplifting those who serve, and AWI shares that commitment. We are proud to welcome them as part of the fabric of our events, standing together in support of our warriors—both human and canine.
