Get ready for the ultimate test of skill and endurance! The 15th Annual Recon Challenge is back and bigger than ever. Are you up for the challenge? 26 April 2024
The purpose of the challenge is to honor our fallen teammates and their families.
Challenge competitors are Reconnaissance Marines and/or Sailors on active duty or former teammates, who make up two man teams….each team carrying the family name of one of our fallen.
The challenge begins with an early morning combat equipment surface swim, then continues overland Camp Pendleton for over 26 miles, each team carrying a combat load of a rucksack with no less than 50lbs, load bearing equipment, fins and an M4 rifle.
The Recon Training Company (RTC) cadre plan and execute the challenge, allowing for up to 35 teams from across the Reconnaissance community to participate.
The Reconnaissance Foundation is proud to coordinate with the Recon Training Center each year in order to bring Recon Gold Star families to the challenge as part of the Reconnaissance Foundation Annual Gold Star Family Retreat.
