Athletes, Coaches, and Parents, USAPM wanted to send out a quick update on the postponed US National Championships. Currently we are waiting on the delivery of the UIPM approved Obstacle Course which is currently at the Port of Genoa and should be on the water this week with an estimated shipping time of 20 days. This puts the arrival in the US (Port of Charleston) around the end of August or early September. We have been told port inspections can take anywhere from 1-6 weeks, where then it is delivered to our location in Charlotte, NC. We hope to host an event early to mid-November, and as soon as we can confirm delivery, we will announce dates.

To the USAPM Community – We want to share an important update regarding the recently announced National Championships event. After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to postpone the event to a future date. While this wasn’t an easy call, we believe it’s the right one. The delay is due to an unexpected change in the delivery timeline of our new Obstacle Course, which is now set to arrive no earlier than mid-August. This course is a key piece of our commitment to hosting top-tier competitions—and we want to ensure that when we do bring you this event, it meets the full standards of a UIPM Category A experience. We know how hard our athletes are training, and we deeply appreciate your continued dedication and momentum. In the meantime, we encourage those eager to compete to consider the Canadian National Championships, which take place the same weekend. We’ll be sharing more details about that opportunity shortly. Thank you for your understanding, and trust us—it’ll be worth the wait.

The USAPM Q1 Board Call is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb 26th at 2 pm PST and is open to all active USAPM members. Please find the zoom link to the call below. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84507349492

Hi all. I graduated from Texas A&M last year, where I was involved in their club swimming and triathlon teams. Now based in the Denver area, I've been fencing at the Denver Fencing Center and training for the other disciplines on my own. Looking forward to a new challenge/sport and getting some competition experience later this year.
