4 laps. 4 challenges. 1 epic finish. You’ll tackle four 0.75-mile loops, and just when your legs think they’ve figured things out… boom, a 100-foot challenge lane awaits.
- Lap 1: Lunges. Wake up those quads early and set the tone
- Lap 2: Bear Crawl. Get low, get gritty, embrace the grind
- Lap 3: Burpee Broad Jump. Full-body chaos in the best way possible
- Lap 4: SPRINT. Empty the tank and fly to the finish
Run it solo like a warrior… or tag in your crew and take it on relay-style (up to 4 runners). Strategy meets suffering meets celebration.
A mini version of the challenge designed for young runners to jump into the action and feel like champions.
