The Philadelphia Marathon 2024 weekend brought together over 17,000 runners (20 of which were Guardian Champions) to pound the pavement of one of the nation’s most beautiful and iconic marathon courses — and one of the top ten marathons in the U.S. This year’s event sold out, but Guardian Revival proudly secured charity entries for our Champions — and our team delivered an impactful performance.

The 2024 49th Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) brought thousands of runners together in Arlington, VA, and Washington, D.C., to celebrate “A bond that bridges generations – women who serve our Nation and communities.” This year, Guardian Revival was proud to have 13 incredible runners take on The People’s Marathon as Guardian Champions.

Keith, Jon, and Tyler — retired military veterans with over 40 years of combined service — took on the challenge of The Sea to Sea Race: navigating over 300 miles of rugged Florida terrain, from one coast to the other, using only a compass, a map, and their wits to get them to the finish line.

Champions are athletes who compete under the Guardian Revival banner to break mental health stigmas & raise awareness so we can improve the lives of veterans & first responders. No matter what sport you play, course you race, or endeavor you take on, we are honored that you want our wings on your back — and that you have our guardians’ backs.
