What is Team McGraw?
Team McGraw is the endurance sports training program that raises money for and increases awareness of the Tug McGraw Foundation through participation in competitive and non-competitive athletic events.
Through Team McGraw, dedicated amateur athletes are offered the support to meet their personal goals, be it the completion of a local 5K or a nationally organized marathon or triathlon. All the while, our athletes show their dedication to our mission and find the rewards of both meeting a personal challenge and finding the satisfaction of serving others along the way.
Choose your event and join us as you walk, run, or swim your way to a new personal best as a member of Team McGraw.
