Distances: 5k Run/Walk & Warrior Challenge: Tire Flip, Stone Carry, Weighted 5k Run

Description: The University of Iowa Veterans Association presents the UIVA Warrior Challenge and 5k run/walk to benefit Wounded Warrior Project. Participants can enter either the 5k Run/Walk or you can sign up for the Warrior Challenge.

Warrior Challenge: We dare you to test yourself and your friends in competing in the Warrior Challenge! The The UIVA Warrior Challenge is a test of strength, endurance, and teamwork. Participants sign up in teams of four and compete in three strongman/military style events including a Tire Flip, Stone Carry, and a Weighted 5k Run. Sign up for the Warrior Challenge and each member of your team will also receive a new UIVA Warrior Challenge backpack!

Warrior Challenge Specifics: Each team member will compete in each event. In the first event: the clock will start and the first teammate will individually flip a large tire down 25 yds and back, then the next teammate and so on until everyone has gone. Second Event – There will be cinder blocks at the one end of the 25 yd strip. Each team will start at the opposite end and send one teammate at a time to go down, grab a cinder block, and bring it back. Teams will keep doing this until they move all of their cinder blocks. Event three is the weighted 5k. When a Warrior Challenger signs up they get a t-shirt and a backpack. They’ll use the backpack and carry an extra 25lbs in the 5k with all the other runners. Warrior Challenge teams in the 5k must finish as a team.
There will be specific rules and guidelines released as the race gets closer.

5k Run/Walk: All types of runners and walkers are strongly encouraged to sign up for the 5k run/walk and benefit a great cause! UIVA will award age group and overall runners/walkers in the race with some sweet medals unlike any other 5k medal you’ve received before!

Almost all single-track trail except for small section on road & bridge that connects two sides of the trail loop around the lake. About 1500 feet of elevation gain per loop. Two full aid stations each loop (start/finish & half-way), but runners should bring a water bottle. This is a trail run so be careful about rocks, roots, and logs on the course.
