The Thunder's on!

Thunder Challenge is the first elite obstacle race created, led and produced by America’s Finest Warriors - including combat Veterans and members of America's Special Forces. Having been fortunate enough to serve some of our Nation's most elite military units, we wanted to bring that experience to the masses. Providing one of the world's most physically and emotionally demanding obstacle racing experiences, Thunder Challenge demands that participants break new personal ground as they work with their teams to achieve success. In every Thunder Challenge you must dig deep to conquer an event where tough is only the beginning. Come see how the Challenge changes you.

New for 2013

With the addition of the new 5K courses, we are offering a fun and challenging experience for the whole family, as well as adventure lovers of ALL abilities. Not sure if you’re ready for a 10k?

Whatever your motivation, whatever your athletic ability, Thunder Challenge wants to see YOU out on the course in 2013. It’s more than just a mud run; it’s a community.

As real as it gets

We are a Veteran owned company. We believe in our Veterans and so we are making a public commitment to help Veterans, employ Veterans and give back to the Veteran Community. Veterans have given us so much and we all owe them a huge debt of gratitude!

Giving back is an essential part of the Thunder Challenge Obstacle Racing Series. We are working to help make a difference in veteran family lives though employing combat veterans, as well as contributing 20% of our proceeds to Project Sanctuary, an organization that helps military families from all across the county.

We have multiple elite races around the country, meaning that Thunder Challenge is close enough for you to experience it first-hand. Come experience first hand what it takes to overcome obstacles like you have never done before.
