RISE Challenge Events is proud to present the third annual RISE Troops Challenge obstacle course race on Saturday, October 9. What is the RISE Troops Challenge, and can I do it? Yes! All events are designed and created for any physical ability. We also have training options to prepare you for success.
There are both a 3 and 7 mile course option for individuals and teams. Although both courses are doable for anyone, the 3 mile course is suitable for beginners.
To honor those who serve, all obstacles and challenges will be based upon real military training and tasks. Tap into your inner strength with the ammo can press, test your steadiness during the airsoft challenge, and a gauntlet of walls.
As with all RISE Challenge Event races, it is about community. Finishers go back on the course to cheer those still racing. When everyone has finished, there is a great after party to celebrate the accomplishments of all.
This is more than just a race or fitness challenge. It is about taking things that life throws at you, being able to Rise above them, and take on a new challenge building a like-minded community and bonds with a lot of fun along the way!

On the twentieth anniversary of the September 11 attacks and heroism that followed, RISE Challenge Events, Strength Warehouse, and Central Oregon Shooting Association (COSA) is proud to present the second annual Battle of the High Desert, also known as Battle HD, on September 11, 2021.
This year’s theme for the event is “Never Forget” as the theme includes special challenges and obstacles to honor this solemn day.
The event is a combination of Strength and Skills followed by an Obstacle Course. This year we are excited to have Liberation Firearms Training joining us for a second shooting event. You can compete by individually to test yourself or team up with a buddy and work together and navigate some special obstacles honoring this day.
The Strength and Skills portion of the event will include deadlifts, overhead keg press, breaching a door with a shotgun and then shooting a target with a rifle, and a special “classified” challenge. After completing the first part of the event it is on to the Obstacle Course. Obstacles you may encounter are a 12-foot rope wall, an atlas stone carry, a teeter-totter, a drag and carry, and special 9/11 challenges. Your score will be an equal combination of both parts. All equipment including the guns and ammo are provided.
Help us honor this special day. Sign Up, Show Up, Rise Up!
