Event
The Challenge Obstacle Run is an obstacle-course fun run, festival, and fundraising drive held in West Jordan, Utah. The event takes place at Veteran's Memorial Park, 1985 W 7800 S, West Jordan, UT. It is presented by the Jordan Education Foundation and proceeds go to classroom grants for local schools in the Jordan School District. The foundation reported raising about $400,000 for classrooms in the previous year.
Course and participation
The event includes multiple obstacles such as climbing a wall, hurdling a barricade, navigating a 130-foot long, 16-foot high blow-up obstacle, slip-sliding down a hill, running through mud, and climbing leaning walls. Participants may choose to bypass obstacles rather than attempt them. The age recommendation is for anyone 8 and up, and younger children have participated when accompanied by a parent.
