"Challenges are better together" - The Ragnar Way
Our Arizona Adventure Awaits
The stars have aligned for an incredible opportunity! Heroic Arizona is partnering with Ragnar Trail Arizona for what promises to be an epic celebration of everything we stand for - teamwork, perseverance, and becoming our best selves through challenge.
For those familiar with our Spartan race community, Ragnar offers a similar spirit with a unique twist: instead of individual obstacles, it's team-based trail running relay where every team member contributes to a shared victory. Like our Spartan "no one left behind" philosophy, Ragnar embodies "challenges are better together."

Ever struggled to explain what Heroic is? So have we. Because Heroic isn’t just one thing—it’s a powerful integration of ancient Stoic wisdom, modern positive psychology, and practical behavioral science working toward an audacious mission: helping 51% of humanity flourish by 2051.
But the best way to understand Heroic isn’t through explanation—it’s through the stories of real people living these principles every day.
This November marks our first official Heroic Tucson meeting following the launch—and it’s all about connection through story.
We’ll model the inspiring format used by Heroic AZ: less presentation, more participation. Real conversations. Real community. Real growth.
Here’s what you can expect:
Less talking at you, more sharing with each other
Real stories from Arizonans on their Heroic journeys
Celebrating wins and learning from challenges—together
Authentic community engagement that builds real connection
At the heart of our roundtable format is story-sharing. If you’re already part of the Heroic community, come ready to share one or both:
Your Hero Bar — Something meaningful you accomplished or overcame recently
A fear you faced and conquered
A difficult conversation you finally had
A commitment you kept despite wanting to quit
A moment you chose courage over comfort
Your Micro Moment of Awesome ✨ — A small act that made a big difference
The tiniest gestures can reveal the greatest character
These ripples of goodness inspire and uplift us all
New to Heroic? Perfect. Just come ready to listen and connect. You’ll quickly see what this community is all about.
We’ll also open the conversation on the future of the Heroic Tucson Chapter—what ongoing gatherings, workshops, and collaborations could look like as we build a flourishing community together.
This isn’t just another personal-growth meetup. It’s the foundation of a movement:
For You
Connect with purpose-driven, growth-minded Southern Arizonans
Experience the tools that combine ancient wisdom + modern science
See practical examples of Heroic principles in action
For Tucson
Shape the future of our new chapter
Help model what authentic, flourishing community looks like
Be part of Arizona’s expanding Heroic network
For the Mission Every person who discovers their Heroic potential moves us closer to 51% of humanity flourishing by 2051. Your story matters. Your growth inspires others. Your presence strengthens the mission.
