Description

What is the Gladiator Assault Challenge?

Gladiator Assault Challenge is the Midwest's premier test of endurance, speed, agility, strength, and mental stamina. Gladiator Assault Challenge obstacle courses are a series of physically challenging obstacles (some natural and some man-made) that individuals or teams must navigate. These courses will challenge you with running, climbing, jumping, crawling, balancing, and MUD with the aim of testing overall endurance. 

What are my options at a Gladiator Assault Challenge?

  • Full Gladiator Assault Challenge is a 5-7 mile race with 30+ physically challenging obstacles
  • Elite Full Gladiator Challenge (1st heat of the day Saturday only)  is a 5-7 mile race with 30+ physically challenging obstacles. Prizes given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in men's and women's divisions.
  • 5K Charge – is a condensed version of the Full Gladiator Assault Challenge consisting of 3+ mile race with 20 to 30 physically challenging obstacles
  • Junior/Parent 5K Gladiator Challenge (last 3 heats of the day allowing juniors ages 9 to 14 to run with a parent) is the same course as the 5K Charge consisting of 3+ mile race with 20 to 30 physically challenging obstacles.

Each participant will receive a Finisher T-Shirt, Gladiator Medal, Finish Line Fruit, and One Beer (21 and over). Within the week of the event we cannot guarantee you a finisher shirt or medal.  Often, we have no-shows that will allow us to get you a shirt and/or medal on the day of the event.  Please check at the registration table after 2 pm on the day you run.

 

Juniors in the Junior/Parent heat will always only be $30 each! The Parent(s) in the Junior/Parent heat will always be the going price.

Results

The Gladiator Assault Challenge will be self-timed. We have seen over the past years that timing has not been a priority to the majority of our participants and therefore are going to focus those efforts on improving the course and obstacles.  There will be a clock at the finish line so you can check your time as you finish.
