Travis Kirchner carries two sandbags during the inaugural All Guard Endurance Team time trials, Aug. 30, 2020, at the Greenlief Training Site, near Hastings, Nebraska. The All Guard Endurance Team is an extension of the National Guard Marathon Program, which promotes the Army and Air National Guard both locally and nationally while bolstering the National Guard Retention Program by instilling physical fitness, self-discipline, and esprit de corps among National Guard members from all 50 states, three U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. The program will now consist of both the Marathon Team and the Endurance Team, each competing and representing the National Guard in approximately five events annually.
