The Vanguard Returns! [2022]
The Vanguard is back!
After a massive debut year (820 athletes), The Vanguard is back for year number two. The RP Funding Center and Lakeland, FL will once again host same-sex teams of two and co-ed teams of four over two days of teamwork-centric workouts.
This event is run by the same team behind The Atlantic Coast Classic, and we’ll bring our usual — a huge, well-run competition with straight-ahead, no-gimmicks programming, a top-end venue with a great vendor village, and a weekend full of varied tests of team fitness.
