Inside UF PRO’s International Striker Challenge
The first edition of the UF PRO Striker Challenge, initially intended for local participants, took place last year. Based on the positive feedback, UF PRO expanded the event, adding more challenging tasks and opening it to international competitors.
Competitors from across Europe tackled a demanding eight-kilometre course featuring fourteen challenges divided into five categories. These included overcoming obstacles like walls and tunnels, providing medic treatment, observation and object spotting, heavy object throwing, military jumps, crawling and ammo carrying, and precision shooting.
To add to the difficulty, each participant carried a ten-kilogram backpack throughout the course.
Participant Experiences
The event was open to everyone, from tactical operators and military or law enforcement personnel to passionate individuals with good physical fitness and tactical skills. Even man’s best friends were welcome. Participants could compete individually or in groups of three.
