Military Athlete Support
The 2023 Texas Regional Games (TRG) is pleased to announce our support for military athletes.
This year we are offering a 50 % discount on the event registration. The registration form will automatically give that discount when you select Military Athlete on the form.
Additionally, we will provide a games stipend to military athletes attending TRG that live more than 100 miles from Morgan’s Wonderland (5223 David Edwards Drive, San Antonio, TX 78233).
The 20223TRG will be awarding military athletes that will need to travel in to compete with a game’s stipend of $175.00. You will need to follow these steps to be eligible for the stipend:
-
As an athlete you will be required to fully register for the event via the event registration link online.
-
Your transportation and housing are your responsibility.
-
You will need to book your hotel room and arrange your own roommate if you want one.
-
If needed, the games committee will provide ground transportation to and from the venues, airport, and host hotel once you arrive in San Antonio. Ground transportation will only be provided between the host hotel, venues, and airport.
-
To get ground transportation, it is required that you mark that on the military stipend link and make sure to communicate with the TRG staff with your flight arrival and departure information.
The link to sign-up for the military stipend will be at the bottom of this information page.
The Texas Regional Games stipend will be administered at the games check-in on May 4th or 5th.
-
When you arrive at check-in there will be a table for you to confirm your game’s stipend.
-
You will need to confirm all your information, including your mailing address.
-
Your stipend check will be put in the mail to you on May 19th. *Please note that our not-for-profit organization only cuts checks twice a month (1st and 15th).
There will be a limit of only 40 stipends awarded and it will be first come first serve. If you are unable to attend the games, please let us know, so we can allow another athlete to receive your stipend.
Athletes who are Paralympic eligible (have a permanent disability) are eligible for assistance with transportation cost under the Challenged Athletes Foundation - Operation Rebound Grant. Please contact them directly: https://www.challengedathletes.org/programs/operation-rebound/
We are excited and look forward to serving our wounded service members with a 50% discount for registration and a $175 stipend for military athletes that will be traveling into the 2023 Texas Regional Games.
