UF PRO’s Striker Challenge Returns in 2025
KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (06.05.2025)
UF PRO announces the return of its Striker Challenge in 2025, introducing a refined and more demanding format.
Building on the success of the past two editions, this year’s event puts even greater emphasis on physical endurance and mental resilience, drawing inspiration from real-world military selection courses. While previous challenges focused on tactical movement and navigation, the 2025 edition is designed to push participants further through long-distance running, challenging obstacles, and sustained physical effort under stress.
Event Date and Location
Set against the rugged backdrop of Pokljuka’s alpine forests, the Striker Challenge provides a testing ground for participants seeking a realistic endurance experience, modelled after military selection courses. The event will take place on 27 September 2025, deep in Slovenia’s Triglav National Park.
Built to Push Every Limit
Covering approximately 20 kilometres of mountainous ground, the course will combine 15+ tactical obstacles, including weighted carries, cold-water crossings, and a series of physical and mental endurance tests.
Participants will navigate varied environments—high elevation, uneven ground, shifting weather—all designed to challenge decision-making and stamina under real-world stressors.
In the spirit of real-world selection, some obstacles and parts of the course will only be revealed on race day. Success won’t come from preparation alone, it will demand adaptability, mental toughness, and pure willpower.
Rewards for Performance
Every registered participant will receive an exclusive UF PRO Striker Challenge 2025 goodie bag.
The top three finishers will be awarded UF PRO gear vouchers valued up to €1,500, redeemable at the official UF PRO store.
