Details to Come!

The Kaaginator Fitness Challenge 

Inspired by IM ABLE Founder, Marine, and all-around badass trainer Chris Kaag, the Kaaginator Challenge is a one-of-a-kind obstacle course set right on the tarmac at Reading Airport. What kind of challenges, you ask? Nice try. The details are classified. Just know you'll face a mix of physical tasks, unexpected twists, and serious fun—all designed for athletes of every level and ability.

Think: a spicy combo of the CrossFit Games and Spartan—but without the mud, spears, or medieval trauma. 

2-Mile Fun Run, Walk, or Roll 

This family-friendly event is, you guessed it, 2 miles! It’s not competitive or timed, so don’t stress. Grab your BFF’s and join IM ABLE for a leisurely walk for a good cause. Not enough incentive for you? Then how ‘bout some beer and BBQ afterwards?!?
The course begins on the airport tarmac, then travels out to traffic-controlled paved roads outside of the airport, finishing back on the tarmac in front of legions of spectators and fans. Carpe diem.

Hot Wing Hustle sponsored by Klingers at the Airport 

Fitness not your thing? Didn't crush the Kaaginator? Then this, my friend, is the event for you. It may not be a physical challenge per se, but it’s a challenge nonetheless! Thanks to Klingers at the Airport, participants get to compete in a post-race activity like no other. Victory never tasted so good.

Trifecta Triple Crown 

Can’t pick just one event—or still craving a bigger challenge? Then the Trifecta Triple Crown is calling your name.

Yes, it includes three events. No, it’s not like that other Trifecta (you know the one)—ours costs a lot less and comes with a whole lot more fun.

The Trifecta Triple Crown bundles the Bike Race, the Kaaginator Challenge, and the Klingers Hot Wing Hustle. This is your shot at glory. Your badge of honor. Your moment to be crowned a legend.

Cross all three finish lines and take your rightful place among the elite. Relish the moment (and the wings).

*Please note that start times are subject to change as we approach race day; be sure to carefully review all race-related emails for the most up-to-date information.

Afterburner Party

Strap in and take off at the Afterburner Party, where the fun reaches new heights Hang out under the wings of vintage planes, sip on ice-cold brews, and chow down on BBQ that’ll make your taste buds race. Whether you’re crossing the finish line or just here to eat, drink, and cheer, it’s the perfect blend of high-flying fun and low-key indulgence. 

Cheers to You! 
Every participant gets 1 FREE BEER to celebrate a job well done!

Hungry? We’ve got you covered.

Adaptive Athletes - FREE REGISTRATION! 

Calling all adaptive athletes! Our sponsors have generously donated funds to support all adaptive athletes at the IM ABLE Games! For more information about Adaptive Athletes and the IM ABLE Games, please visit the Adaptive Athlete Info Page.

IM ABLE Welcomes Adaptive Athletes to the IM ABLE Games! 

There are several ways to participate in the IM ABLE Games for adaptive athletes - all (except for the wing eating challenge) will include adaptive options to make this event accessible to all! 

Choose from the following:

• 2-mile fun run/walk/roll - this is just for fun; not competitive, so bring out your family and friends to join you!  Complete the 2-miles any way you would like - with the exception of cars, golf carts, & ATV's of course! Please note that we are able to offer this fun run at a very low cost, but t-shirts are not included in the registration fee. 

• Sprint Duathlon - this sounds way more intimidating than it is, and is totally doable for most of you! This duathlon includes a 2-mile run/walk/roll (wheelchairs, pushrims, etc.), followed by 8 miles on a bike (handcycles, recumbents, etc.), followed by another 2-mile run/walk/roll. 

• The Kaaginator Challenge - named after our Founder, Chris Kaag, the Kaaginator Challenge combines both running & functional workout stations, where participants run/walk/roll, followed by 1 functional workout station, repeated several times with different functional workout stations throughout the race.These workout stations are NOT complicated and don't involve anything like handstand push-ups, rope climbs, 1-rep max's, etc. You will most likely have done every single one of them at the gym! For each station, there will be modifications! You can do this!! 

• Klingers Hot Wings Hustle - known for their famous wings, this competition is hosted by Klingers at the Airport. Unless you're allergic, anyone can compete in this event! 

• Trifecta Triple Crown - This event includes the Duathlon, the Kaaginator, and Wing Eating Competition! No better time to put on your cape and show everyone what an adaptive athlete can really do! 

• Volunteer! Not into racing or wings? Then, please consider volunteering! It takes a village to run an event like this with proceeds going to support IM ABLE adaptive athletes' programs, classes, and equipment grants. Includes IM ABLE Games volunteer t-shirt!

 

OTHER INFO

• All adaptive athletes register for free using the following discount code: IMABLE25. Use this code during the checkout section of your registration. 

• There will be adaptive options in the Kaaginator! For example, if burpees are included in the Kaaginator (hint: they are), you have a couple of options: you can cut down on the quantity or there will be a wheelchair accessible Ski Erg at that station. And if you need another alternative, you can do squats, deadlifts, etc. Volunteers will be at each station to assist with options and alternatives.

• Accessible parking will be located right at the entrance to the tarmac where registration/check-in will be; the duathlon transition, duathlon & 2-mile fun run start and finish; the Kaaginator Challenge course; and wings and beer!

This page is still a work-in-progress. We are adding to it as more information becomes available. For specific questions, please email Becky Rennix at becky@imablefoundation.org.
