It's been a long road, but we've finally arrived at the end! In June of 2017, the USEA undertook a project - to tell the story of each of the currently active USEA recognized events, starting at the beginning of the alphabet and working our way all the way through to the end. Now, more than three years later, we've reached the final event on our list.
The USEA runs approximately 230 competitions at more than 130 different venues each year with over 41,000 starters. Each of those events has a unique origin story and a special team of people behind it. Below you can click to read the story of any of the currently or recently active USEA recognized events.
The USEA is so thankful to the incredible organizers who put on these wonderful events and to the volunteers who support the events and make them possible for competitors. Our sport would not be possible without you!

Last month we began a series of Pressure Proof tips dedicated to the many different mindsets that impact our potential to succeed, but I’d like to pause that conversation as we prepare for New Years so that we can discuss the topic of goal setting.
