The 420 Games has created a new demographic and category in sports by founder Jim McAlpine of Snowbomb.com fame.  Created to de-stigmatize cannabis and the people who use it, The 420 Games brings a message of fitness, wellness and health.

Having kept their cannabis use a secret for fear of judgment or persecution, athletes are now stepping out, inspired by this newly found ‘CannaAthletics’ movement. Activists will walk, run, bicycle or skateboard to “Go the Extra Mile for Cannabis” in this 4.20 mile race; wheelchairs are welcome! Out in the water stand-up paddle boarders will follow course along the beach.

Look for special appearances by UFC Fighter Kyle Kingsbury, NFL Pro-Bowler Kyle Turley and former NFL players from the Gridiron Coalition who will have their own team of former NFL players in attendance, including Eddie Lee “Boo” Williams who played for the New Orleans Saints. JUST ANNOUNCED: Ricky Wiliiams, retired NFL player will attend, hear what he has to say about cannabis.
