COLORADO SPRINGS — The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum (USOPM) hosts its monthly Starting Line Saturday event on November 2.
On the first Saturday of every month, the USOPM hosts this event to give the community more insight into what it means to be a part of Team USA.
The itinerary for the event can be found below:
