Each 2026 Patriot Games winner received $125,000 in scholarships.
The Patriot Games were held from August 9 to August 11, 2026, as part of the United States Semiquincentennial celebrations. The event had separate male and female categories, and the scholarship amount applied to each category winner.
Kennadi Fuhrman of Kansas won the female category, while Rockwell Myers of Utah won the male category. The competition included obstacle-course and fitness-related events for high-school students between the ages of 14 and 17.
The prize is sometimes mistaken for the anniversary number because the event was linked to America250. However, the scholarship was $125,000, exactly half of $250,000, rather than $250,000. The amount was awarded as scholarships, not as a general cash prize.
