Central Oregon has many races throughout the year and although they are unique in their own ways, they are nothing like this race. To honor those who serve, Rise Troops Challenge is filled with obstacles and challenges based upon actual military tactical skills and training challenges across the branches.
Can you carry an ammo can to resupply everyone, carry your injured buddy to the evac chopper, and run the Braveheart Battlefield Gauntlet to victory? YES! You have it in you! All events are designed and created for any physical ability. They are attainable to the newbie and challenging for the fittest. We have training available to prepare you for success. You also have the option to go through the event as a team. In the team event, everyone can
help each other through all obstacles and challenges.
Conquer the military style walls, embrace your grit and warrior spirit through challenges that include sandbags, military based fitness tasks, carrying, and crawling. Calm yourself and overcome fatigue to hit the air soft target. Also, don’t forget to look around and take in the beauty of the Central Oregon mountains!
RISE Troops Challenge also builds community. As racers finish, we often see them cheering on those still racing. It is about everyone accomplishing their goal and helping others. Past events have had veterans and active duty members out in force alongside those new to obstacle racing. Friendships are formed and the camaraderie is contagious. Finishers often head back out onto the course to encourage others. This is much bigger than just a race, fitness challenge, or competition. This is about facing challenges, rising above them, and setting new goals, all while honoring those who serve and sacrifice so much, and bonding with a like minded community. Of course we have fun, the pride of accomplishment, and memories to create along the way!
