Strength To Serve Challenge
Along the way, you’ll face signature obstacles like: • Search & Rescue: navigate a marked zone to locate a victim and recover before moving on, quick decision making matters as much as speed. • Hose Drag: pull a weighted hose line across the grass and complete it before you’re cleared • Wall Hop: scale and clear a series of walls some are quick pop overs, others require technique, and a little courage. • Victim Drag: move a simulated rescue dummy through a defined lane, controlled effort, strong legs, and grit win here. • 911 Mental Toughness: a pressure challenge that tests focus under fatigue, think rapid information recall, sequencing, or communication style tasks with time on the clock. • Terrain Run: uneven grass, turns, short inclines, and natural features that keep your legs honest and your heart rate up. And SOOO much more….we can’t tell you all our secrets
