KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (06.05.2025)
UF PRO announces the return of its Striker Challenge for 2025, unveiling a refined and more demanding format built on the foundation of the past two successful editions.
This year’s event will place even greater emphasis on physical endurance and mental resilience, drawing direct inspiration from the rigours of real-world military selection courses. While previous editions focused primarily on tactical movement and navigation, the 2025 Striker Challenge is designed to push participants further through long-distance running, challenging obstacles, and sustained physical effort under stress.
The UF PRO Striker Challenge 2025 will take place on 27 September 2025 in Pokljuka, Slovenia, located within the alpine terrain of Triglav National Park. The rugged natural environment will serve as the perfect proving ground, combining approximately 20 kilometres of mountainous trails with over 15 military-inspired obstacles. Weighted carries, cold-water crossings, and a series of physical and mental endurance tests will challenge each participant’s stamina, adaptability, and decision-making under pressure.
In line with true military selection experiences, some obstacles and course details will remain undisclosed until race day, requiring participants to demonstrate not only strength but also adaptability and mental toughness to succeed.
Every registered participant will receive an exclusive UF PRO Striker Challenge 2025 goodie bag. In recognition of outstanding performance, the top three finishers will be awarded UF PRO gear vouchers valued at up to €1,500, redeemable at the official UF PRO store.
The event is open to active and veteran military personnel, law enforcement officers, first responders, fitness and adventure athletes, and tactical and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Whether aiming to test operational readiness or push personal boundaries, the UF PRO Striker Challenge is designed for those who seek to prove themselves.
Early bird registration opens on 6 May 2025 and runsthrough 1 June 2025, offering a special entry price of €70. Standard registration thereafter will be €90, with a fixed discounted rate of €70 available throughout for military, law enforcement, and first responders.
