From April 6–12, 2026, a group of athletes from around the world successfully completed seven marathon-distance efforts across seven different disciplines, over seven days.
Set against Utah’s dramatic and diverse landscape, WORK WEEK pushed athletes through a new environment and physical test each day, demanding endurance, resilience, and constant adaptation. Participants traveled from across the United States, Europe, and Asia to take part, and every athlete (including four women) successfully completed the full challenge. While not professional athletes, they represented a global community of individuals balancing careers, families, and training in pursuit of something greater.
The journey was documented on our instagram channel, capturing stunning content, athlete interviews, and behind-the-scenes insights: https://www.instagram.com/_work_week
“WORK WEEK believes in the transformative power of fitness and outdoor adventure to create personal and global change. To us, putting in sustained effort and hard work builds resilience to overcome obstacles, inspire bigger dreams, and unlock potential in all aspects of life.”
Ricky Bowry, Founder, WORK WEEK
Beyond the physical feat, WORK WEEK is driven by a meaningful charitable mission. Building on the success of its inaugural year, which raised more than $100,000, the 2026 event continued its focus on “Body and Mind.” In partnership with The St James’s Place Foundation, funds raised supported organizations including Panathlon, which provides sporting opportunities for young people with disabilities and special needs, and CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), a leading suicide prevention charity. These causes reflected the deeply personal motivations of participants and the event’s belief that hard work can drive both personal and collective transformation.

WORK WEEK is a unique endurance event that challenges athletes to complete seven marathon efforts, in seven different sporting disciplines, across seven days. Held across the varied landscapes of Utah, the event spans skiing, cycling, kayaking, mountain biking, paddle boarding, hiking, and running – testing both physical and mental limits.
Launched in 2025, WORK WEEK has already raised over $100,000 for charitable causes and gained national media attention in the US and UK. At its core, WORK WEEK is defined by its participants: non-professional athletes pushing beyond their limits to support meaningful charitable causes.
