Badge of Strength Endurance Challenge

The Badge of Strength Endurance Challenge is a team-based event designed to build resilience, teamwork, and community while supporting mental health awareness.

Created in partnership with the Hampden County Sheriff’s Office, this challenge brings together first responders, military members, veterans, community organizations, businesses, and individuals who are ready to test their strength and support a meaningful cause.

Teams of five will work together through a series of physical and mental challenges designed for a variety of experience levels. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or new to endurance events, there is a challenge level for you.

Gather your team, build your strength, and stand together to promote resilience and mental wellness in our community.

Teams can choose their level of difficulty - Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced - based on their readiness and goals.

The event will be held on October 11th and 12th, and teams will select one day only to participate. Teams do not compete on both days.

For full challenge details, requirements, and rules, please review the Participant Handbook. To view the "How to Register" videos with step-by-step instructions, click here for Mobile Registration or Desktop Registration.

This event is a fundraiser supporting mental health programs and services at the Mental Health Association (MHA), in partnership with the Hampden County Sheriff’s Office.

Every step taken, every lift made, and every challenge completed fuels this fundraising mission, strengthening the network of support for first responders, law enforcement, correctional professionals, military members, veterans, and our community as a whole.
