Apex Crew Waiver and Commitment
Please read in full.
Program Overview
The Mission 22 Apex Crew is a veteran-led athletics initiative that builds community through physical challenge and shared purpose. We unite veterans, active-duty service members, families, and civilian supporters in events such as 5Ks, CrossFit competitions, Spartan races, and marathons. Together, we pursue resilience, connection, and healing through movement.
Vision and Purpose
Apex Crew exists to:
● Combat veteran isolation by fostering belonging and camaraderie.
● Build bridges between veterans and civilians through inclusive participation.
● Facilitate and participate in “Arenas for Growth” — team events that emphasize leadership, service, and perseverance.
● Participation supports the broader Mission 22 initiative to end veteran suicide through community, wellness, and purpose-driven engagement.
