🎯 Meet the Visionary Behind the Mission: Tracy Barnes

Tracy Barnes is no stranger to pushing limits and delivering results under pressure. A U.S. Olympic Biathlete, Tracy knows what it takes to perform with precision, speed, and focus – skills that have not only defined her athletic career but have also shaped her vision for the Rail & Rescue + SWAT Tactical Training Adventure.

Growing up in the rugged Colorado Rockies, Tracy developed a deep love for the outdoors, adventure, and the power of community. Her competitive spirit took her to the world stage, where she competed in biathlon – a demanding sport that combines cross-country skiing with rifle marksmanship. As an Olympian, she’s lived the reality of training, discipline, and the unyielding pursuit of excellence.

Now, Tracy has channeled that same passion into creating an event that merges adrenaline, tactical precision, and immersive storytelling. With Rails & Rescues, she brings together elite SWAT teams to deliver an unforgettable experience that goes beyond entertainment. The event showcases high-stakes rescue scenarios, world-class stunts, and interactive tactical experiences – all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Durango, Colorado.

More than just an adrenaline rush, Tracy’s vision includes an unparalleled opportunity for brands. As a marketing expert and content creator, she understands the value of authentic engagement. Through this event, sponsors can see their products tested in real-world tactical situations, captured by professional media teams to generate powerful, real-life marketing content.

Tracy’s mission is simple: to inspire, engage, and create a platform where adventure meets purpose – and where every guest, operator, and sponsor leaves with a story worth sharing.
