The Endangered Species Athletics Opening Ceremony!
The premier summer sporting event of 2024 is here – the Endangered Species Athletics competition!

And YOU get to be on the judging panel! You can learn more about each of the competitors and their journeys by exploring our Endangered Species Athletics event page.
