BREAK YOUR LIMITS.
Steelman Race was born in 2021 from a challenge among best friends: to complete 24 hours of sport without giving up. What seemed like an impossible feat turned into an unforgettable victory. Since then, more and more athletes have taken on the challenge, to push their limits and discover their true abilities shaping themselves into Steel Athletes.
