WILD BOAR  CHALLENGE

It was an extremly tough decision. Rather than risk the health and welfare of participants, volunteers and staff, the 2020 Wild Boar Challenge has been canceled.

Though the event was scheduled for September, the committee felt it best to cancel now as the coronavirus isn’t showing any signs of diminishing. Social distancing is impossible for an event like the Wild Boar Challenge. The cancelation joins other events that already elected to cancel, including many with later schedules. Part of our goal is to support healthy lives, and the last thing we want to do is put lives at risk.

WE WILL BE BACK! This year's cancellation won't stop the Wild Boar Challenge from continuing to bring fun to Iowa and support to Wildwood Hills Ranch. We look forward to seeing you next year. 

The Wild Boar Challenge supports Wildwood Hills Ranch, which provides life-changing educational programming, leadership development, job skill training and equine therapy for youth at-risk and veterans in need. Wildwood makes a ten-year commitment to the youth that they serve, working with them from ages eight through eighteen.

Because the Wild Boar Challenge is a major fundraiser for The Ranch, the decision to cancel the event was extremely difficult, though necessary. You can still support the cause by making a donation to this essential charity.

Along with our wonderful participants, it takes outstanding sponsors to make the Wild Boar Challenge the great event it is. Our thanks goes out to sponsors who have supported the cause.

The course covers just over 5 miles at the Wildwood Hills Ranch and features a number of difficult and exciting obstacles. Participants will navigate hay bales, mud, barbed wire, and more in some of the most beautiful and hilly terrain in central Iowa.
