Join us for an evening with Team Agar
Thursday, March 26, 2026 / 6 PM / The Jefferson Hotel
TeamAgar participates in endurance races all over the world. They are also accomplished motivational keynote speakers, authors, and know how to take on life one step at a time.
They have been in over 200 races, including 5 marathons, numerous half marathons, 25Ks, 10Ks and 5Ks. They have also participated in over 30 triathlons, which include everything from sprint distance to a full Ironman of 140.6 miles. TeamAgar attempted five full Ironman’s including the iconic Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, which was chronicled by NBC. In 2022 TeamAgar completed their first, full distance Ironman in Maryland where Johnny walked across the finish line.
They have been featured on CBS Mornings, The NBC Today Show, Inside Edition, People, USA Today, NBC Nightly News, Huffington Post, and ESPN’s Sportscenter – among many others. Their tenacity and indelible spirit have caught the attention of Olympic swimming great Michael Phelps and the sports apparel company Under Armour—so much so that UA placed them in two commercials: One with Phelps and the other with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. They are also just a dad and son working together as a team. Johnny, despite being diagnosed with cerebral palsy, has willed himself to become the athlete he has always dreamed of being. And his dad has been the arms, legs, and power to help Johnny fulfill that dream.
