WILDWOOD, N.J. — The 8th Annual Navy SEAL Challenge will take over the Wildwood beachfront on Sunday, August 3, as athletes from across the region gather to compete in a demanding test of physical and mental endurance inspired by U.S. Navy SEAL training.
The competition begins at 6 p.m. on the beach at Lincoln Avenue and features individual and team challenges, as well as a kids’ run. Events include a 1-mile open ocean swim, a 5K run, and a sand-and-water obstacle course.
Hosted in partnership with Wildwood Beach Patrol and Even Kiel Racing, the challenge is designed to push participants through a variety of exercises, including sprints, push-ups, pull-ups, and weighted drills—all under the sun and surf conditions of the Jersey Shore.
This year’s lineup includes:
- Individual Challenge: Ocean swim, run, and obstacle course
- 4-Person Team Challenge: Ocean swim, run, and obstacle course
- Land Run Only Challenge: Run and obstacle course (no swim)
- Kids Run Challenge: Modified run and obstacle course
The event is open to both experienced athletes and newcomers seeking to test their limits in a simulated SEAL-style endurance environment.
