Ji4Life Joins the Spartan Kids Race!

For the first time since Ji4Life’s launch in 2019, we dipped into the fountain of youth—literally—and joined our very first Spartan Kids Race!

Now, you might be thinking, “Wait… hasn’t Ji4Life been doing Spartan races for years?” And you’d be absolutely right—we have! But until now, our races have focused on teens and young adults. As our community has grown, so has our roster of athletes—including some incredible kids age 14 and under who were ready to take on the course and earn their moment of glory.

So what about our older athletes? We gave them something even more powerful than a medal: the opportunity to give back. They showed up as volunteers, mentors, and the ultimate hype squad—cheering, guiding, and lifting others up every step of the way.

Led by our dedicated board member Esther Schwab, we took the Spartan Kids Race by storm. Watching our youngest athletes conquer mini A-frames, bucket carries, and teamwork challenges filled us with pride. But seeing our teens lead with heart, patience, and fierce encouragement? That was pure magic.

Hand in hand, cheering each other on—walking, rolling, and running toward the finish line—we ended the day in a victorious huddle. Wolves and their cubs, united in spirit, howling together:

Arooo! Ji4Life! Arooo!
