About
The Wild Boar Challenge takes place at Wildwood Hills Ranch in St. Charles, Iowa.
Take on a course of more than 5 miles (8K) packed with tough, adrenaline-pumping obstacles — climb over hay bales, wade through mud, and crawl under barbed wire while covering some of the most scenic and challenging hills in central Iowa. Your entry also supports Wildwood Hills Ranch's mission of helping at-risk youth and veterans through effective programs. Refuel and celebrate your finish with music, food, and drinks at the post-race gathering.
