Episode Details

What happens when every race gets canceled...but athletes still want a finish line?

That's exactly how Humans of Steel Racing was born.

In this episode of the Find Your Edge Podcast, Coach Chris and Coach Carlie share the story behind Humans of Steel—from its unexpected beginnings during COVID to becoming one of North Carolina's most welcoming triathlon experiences.

They discuss:

• Why the reverse-format triathlon is perfect for athletes looking for a unique challenge
• How Humans of Steel creates a less intimidating swim experience for beginners
• Why relay teams and aquabike athletes are some of the biggest winners on race day
• What makes this race feel more like a community cookout than a typical competition
• How every registration helps support Girls on the Run and inspire the next generation of athletes

Whether you're training for your first sprint triathlon, looking for an Olympic-distance tune-up before your fall race, or simply want to experience an event where everyone belongs, this episode is for you.
