Sixty-three of the National Guard’s best athletes descended

Sixty-three of the National Guard’s best athletes descended on the Nebraska National Guard’s Greenlief Training Site near Hastings, Nebraska, Aug. 29-30, 2020, to compete in the inaugural All Guard Endurance Team time trials. Thirty-four competitors were ultimately named to the 2020 All Guard Endurance Team, including the top 20 males, top 10 females and top four masters qualifiers (individuals over 50+). The All Guard Endurance Team is an extension of the National Guard Marathon Program, which promotes the Army and Air National Guard both locally and nationally while bolstering the National Guard Retention Program by instilling physical fitness, self-discipline, and esprit de corps among National Guard members from all 50 states, three U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. The program will now consist of both the Marathon Team and the Endurance Team, each competing and representing the National Guard in approximately five events annually.
