Imagine a place where the impossible becomes possible, where barriers are not just challenged but shattered. This is the essence of the San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC), hosted by the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). This year marks a poignant return to its roots at La Jolla Cove, the very place where a movement was born—a movement that has since empowered countless athletes with physical disabilities across the globe.

La Jolla Cove isn't merely a scenic spot on the California coast; it's the cornerstone of a revolution in adaptive sports. It was here that the CAF first laid down its marker, not just to raise funds, but to raise hopes, to challenge the status quo, and to redefine the boundaries of possibility for athletes with disabilities.

Bob Babbitt, co-founder of the Challenged Athletes Foundation, reflects on this homecoming: "Bringing the SDTC back to La Jolla Cove is a full-circle moment for us. It's where everything started—from a humble fundraiser to a global beacon of hope and inclusion. This isn't just a race; it's a testament to the resilience and indomitable spirit of our athletes."

This return is a celebration of progress and a reaffirmation of the foundational values that sparked this transformative journey. It's a homecoming in the most profound sense, promising to reignite passions and inspire a new generation of athletes and supporters.

Set for October 26, 2025, the SDTC is more than just a triathlon; it's a comprehensive showcase of what it means to be inclusively athletic. The event encapsulates a week of activities that highlight the diversity and capability of athletes from all walks of life.

The SDTC is more than an event; it's a catalyst for change. Through sports, CAF has not only challenged what's possible for athletes with disabilities but has also provided them with the necessary tools to succeed. The funds raised translate into essential sports equipment, training, and competition support, enabling athletes to pursue their dreams without financial hindrance.

Whether you're an athlete, a supporter, or a spectator, your involvement in the SDTC can make a profound difference. From competing in the race, volunteering your time, fundraising, or simply cheering on the athletes, every action contributes to a more inclusive world.

As we approach October 26, 2025, let's come together at La Jolla Cove to celebrate the enduring spirit of the Challenged Athletes Foundation and the athletes it supports. Register, participate, and be part of a movement that continues to inspire and transform lives around the world.
