Overcoming Challenges in Our 17th Year of TOUGHKids
After 17 years of hosting TOUGHKids, we’ve faced many challenges — from unpredictable weather conditions to last-minute changes within our team caused by illness, family emergencies, or work commitments. Despite these obstacles, our mission remains strong: to promote resilience, endurance, and a never-quit attitude among kids and families through this exciting obstacle course race.
The Spirit of Perseverance and Community
At TOUGHKids, our mantra “we endeavor to persevere” reflects the core values of the event — grit, determination, and community support. As endurance athletes and organizers, we understand that the lessons learned on the racecourse go beyond winning or losing. They build character, foster teamwork, and inspire young athletes to embrace challenges.
We are incredibly grateful for the support from our racers, volunteers, event staff, and sponsors who make this weekend possible. TOUGHKids is more than just a race — it’s a celebration of strength, spirit, and the power of never giving up.
We can’t wait to see all our amazing young athletes back on the course, ready to push their limits and create even more unforgettable memories.
