Description

Get ready to push your limits and have the time of your life at The Challenge Race — a thrilling 4-mile obstacle course packed with 25+ high-intensity, mud-slinging challenges!

You’ll face everything from the Warped Wall and Multi-Rig, to the 10-Foot Wall, Muscle-Up Wall, and of course, our crowd-favorite Mud Pit. Whether you’re racing for fun or competition, every obstacle is designed to test your grit, teamwork, and endurance — and guarantee a blast while doing it!

But this race isn’t just about strength — it’s about purpose.
The Challenge Race is run entirely by volunteers and funded through generous donations, with proceeds supporting Camp Calvary’s Scholarship Fund. This fund helps kids who can’t afford camp experience a week full of adventure, faith, and life-changing moments they’ll never forget.

Every hill you climb, every wall you scale, and everyone who crosses the finish line directly helps send a child to Camp Calvary — a place where they can grow in confidence, character, and faith.

Come run for a reason, race with purpose, and make a difference that lasts far beyond the finish line.
