Saturday, August 16, 2025 – Driathlon – Hohenfels
Service CU will be supporting the Hohenfels Military Community’s Driathlon, taking place August 16, 2025, at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany. The event name is a clever play on the German word for “three” (drei) and the fact that participants will stay “dry” by rowing on stationary machines rather than in open water. Competitors will take on a three-part challenge: a 750-meter row, a bike ride through gravel roads, and a 5K run that begins and ends with uphill climbs. Rain or shine, the event promises to showcase the strength and spirit of the community. Service CU will be on-site with a table and giveaways to cheer on participants and celebrate their commitment to fitness and resilience.
Friday, August 22 – Sunday, August 24, 2025 – Ride the Alps Motorcycle Rally – Garmisch
