On behalf of the University of Iowa Veterans Association (UIVA) I am proud to present the UIVA Warrior Challenge & 5k Run/Walk to benefit Wounded Warrior Project. This event is set for March 31^st, 2012 at the Hawkeye Recreation Fields in Iowa City, IA. Proceeds for this event will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that supports our battle scared brave men and women. The day consists of two separate races; a 5k run/walk, and the Warrior Challenge. The Warrior Challenge is a three event race that has been created to embody military values of strength, endurance, and teamwork. In the Warrior Challenge teams of four will compete in the Tire Flip Event, Stone Carry Event, and the Weighted 5k Run. Warrior Challengers will receive some great race swag including a Warrior Challenge backpack.
