**Camp Challenge 5K: Hilly Hills, Big Hearts!**

Get ready to conquer the hills and make a difference at the Camp Challenge 5K! Set in the heart of the scenic woods of Southern Indiana, this race is as much about heart as it is about hills. The challenging course weaves through rugged terrain and offers a true test of your endurance, with steep inclines and thrilling descents, all framed by the natural beauty of the camp's wooded trails.

But it's not just about the run, it's about the mission. Every step you take, every hill you climb, is helping to send a child to camp who otherwise may not have the opportunity. All proceeds from the race go directly toward funding scholarships that provide life-changing experiences for campers in need.

Whether you're a seasoned runner looking to test your stamina or a first-time racer ready for a new challenge, the Camp Challenge 5K is an event that will push you physically while lifting the spirits of future campers. And after crossing that finish line, enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that your effort has helped send a child to experience the magic of Camp Challenge.

Join us for a race that’s a little tough, a lot of fun, and makes a big impact. Ready, set, climb for a cause!

All participants will receive a finishing medal, in addition the top male and female finisher will receive an award.

Registration is from 7:30 to 8:45 am, with the race kicking off at 9am
