From the Race Organizer
The Challenge is #1 - Obstacle Course Fun Run #2 - A Festival #3 - A Fundraising Drive Sponsored by the Jordan Education Foundation, all proceeds go directly to classroom grants for local schools in the Jordan School District. Last year, the Foundation raised nearly $400,000 to support our classrooms—and The Challenge Run is a big part of making that happen. New this year: The school with the highest participation will receive a $1,000 school grant, making it even more fun to rally your community and get involved! We believe we can make a real difference while having a ton of FUN. The Challenge lets you support education while climbing walls, hurdling barricades, navigating a 130-foot-long, 16-foot-high inflatable obstacle, and slip-sliding down a hill. Come join us for all this and so much more!
