PTO Pro Am 2022

The first PTO Pro Am event will see six of the world’s top professional athletes race an Olympic-distance course alongside Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) athletes and special guests including former UFC star Paul Felder and Olympic silver medallist Heather Fell.

CAF athletes will kick-start the day with a 1500m swim from Venice Beach. They’ll then tag in a highly-ranked PTO professional who’ll rip up the road over a 40km bike course finishing in downtown LA. From here, another CAF superstar, or one of our special guests, will complete a 10km run to close out this first-ever PTO Pro Am event.

PTO & CAF

Six top PTO professional athletes will be joined by nine awesome Challenged Athlete Foundation (CAF) athletes along with former UFC star Paul Felder, Olympic silver medallist and GTN presenter Heather Fell and Herbalife ambassador and lifestyle influencer Shirley Alvarez.

“At CAF we feel that people underestimate the power of sport to change lives for the better,” says CAF Co-Founder, Bob Babbitt. “Working with the PTO to connect the greatest triathletes on the planet with our amazing CAF athletes as well as celebrities is a dream come true. This event is going to be spectacular!”
