CLASH Endurance Daytona Expands Weekend Lineup with New Events

September 30, 2026

September 30, 2026 (Daytona Beach, FL) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – With a brand DNA focused on inclusivity and a festival-style, multisport atmosphere for all ages, CLASH Endurance is proud to announce even more opportunities for racing at the iconic Daytona International Speedway® come December 4-6, 2026.

The Collegiate Invitational Long-Course Triathlon is an experience designed for collegiate athletes to challenge themselves at the middle distance while also being accessible. Daytona Beach is drivable from numerous universities situated throughout the Southeast, Midwest and Northeastern corridor and serves as a destination offering accommodations for every budget. This unique race also allows students to test their racing fitness before many training regimens are taken indoors for winter/off season.

Andre Lapar, COO of CLASH Endurance comments, “We strive to provide as many avenues for multisport athlete development as possible and the Daytona International Speedway® allows us to do that in a safe, memorable venue. We look forward to continued growth with partners like USA Triathlon and Swim Across America in the years ahead.”

After a successful debut in 2025, paratriathletes from around the globe will take part in the opening race of the 2027 USA Triathlon Paratriathlon Nationals Qualifier Series. This closed-course event provides an opportunity for athletes with physical and visual impairments to line up, compete and experience the energy of race day together. Paratriathletes and ATD1 athletes alike will have the chance to compete in the sprint-distance event while working toward qualification for the 2027 USA Paratriathlon National Championships in Des Moines, IA.

“We are excited that these athletes will have one start line, one race community and an incredible venue to kick off the 2027 series,” said Auburn Bosworth, USA Triathlon’s Para Development Senior Coordinator.

Returning for a second year, the charity event hosted by Swim Across America will now take place on Saturday, as opposed to Sunday in 2025. This date change offers more participants, spectators and supporters the chance to get involved while also supporting the organization’s mission of “Making Waves for Cancer” to raise money in support pediatric cancer research in partnership with NASCAR Foundation.

“Offering a charity swim for cancer research offers CLASH Endurance Daytona athletes the opportunity to give back while swimming with notable Olympian ambassadors; a true win- win for all,” remarks Swim Across America CEO, Rob Butcher.
