WORK WEEK WRAPPED 2025. Proof that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they put in the work, together.
Seven amateur athletes.
Seven marathon efforts.
Seven sporting disciplines.
Seven long days.
But none of it would have been possible without your belief and support. January 1st feels like the right moment to reflect on what we accomplished as we propel towards our next start line on April 6th.
With gratitude.

WORK WEEK 2026 | DAY 02 | Road Bike - 100 miles | Salt Lake City, Utah
Seven days. Seven marathons. No recovery window.
Day 02 sends the athletes onto the roads surrounding Salt Lake City, Utah for a 100-mile ride through canyons, climbs, and long stretches of exposed road. Legs already heavy from the mountain. Bodies still trying to recover. No one fully fresh.
And then the route changed.
Halfway through planning, construction in Provo Canyon forced a complete rethink of the course. What was already going to be a brutal day suddenly became even harder, with more elevation, more climbing, and even less room to hide.
For some athletes, this is familiar territory. Years spent in the saddle. Long endurance rides. Knowing how to pace the suffering.
For others, it’s a completely different story.
Climbing for hours under fatigue. Fighting crosswinds. Watching the road bend upwards again and again. Learning very quickly that 100 miles in the mountains feels very different to 100 miles anywhere else.
This is WORK WEEK.
An endurance event built on the belief that hard work creates real change — physically, mentally, and far beyond the road ahead. Over seven days, athletes take on seven marathon-distance disciplines across some of the most demanding terrain in the US.
Day 02 was never meant to be easy.
But it became something even bigger than planned.
Follow the journey as we traverse Utah, from alpine peaks to desert canyons, in support of mental health and causes bigger than ourselves.
Each WORK WEEK 2026 trophy is a one-of-one Navajo sandstone arch, dating back to the Early Jurassic. Once a vast desert that covered most of Utah, it now shapes the landscapes we move through across WORK WEEK, from Zion National Park to Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park.
It’s a reminder that the most powerful changes aren’t visible in the moment. A symbol of the forces that have shaped you, across the week and the months that led to it.
In the training blocks.
In the early mornings and late nights.
In every sacrifice. Every doubt. Every breakthrough.
This trophy holds the idea that they happen slowly. Quietly. Over time. Invisible to track to day by day.
Because in the end, it wasn’t just the terrain that tested us.
It was everything that led us to the finish line… And the post race McDonalds feast!
WORK WEEK 2026 | DAY 01 | SKI — 26.2 MILES | SNOWBIRD, UTAH
Seven days. Seven marathons. One relentless start.
Day 01 drops our athletes into the mountains of Snowbird, Utah — where the challenge begins not with a run, but on skis. 26.2 miles of vertical, speed, and control. Thin air. Burning legs. No easing in.
But not everyone arrives the same.
Our athletes come from a wide range of abilities — from experienced skiers to complete beginners with only a few hours of lessons behind them. Which means for some, this isn’t just endurance. It’s survival. Learning on the fly. Falling, getting back up, and facing the mountain again.
This is WORK WEEK.
An endurance event built on the belief that hard work creates real change — physically, mentally, and far beyond the mountains. Over the next seven days, athletes will push through seven marathon-distance disciplines across some of the most unforgiving terrain in the US.
But first, they have to make it down the mountain. Again. And again. And again.
This is the tone setter. The shock to the system. The moment it all becomes real.
Follow the journey as we traverse Utah — from alpine peaks to desert canyons — in support of mental health and causes bigger than ourselves.
