484. FIT Challenge 2026 with Athletes, Robb McCoy, and Darlene Gaudet!

Back to cover another FIT Challenge but this one was bittersweet!  Robb McCoy has stated that he will be stepping away from the events and brand that he founded over a decade ago and that Darlene Gaudet will be taking over but keeping him as an advisor. We are optimistic about the future of FIT Challenge and are grateful that Robb and some of his team will stay around! We talk to both Robb and Darlene about the upcoming change as well as some athletes at the course finish line!
