It’s been dubbed as the “Toughest Two Minutes in Sports,” by ESPN, the 30th Anniversary National Tour of the Firefighter Combat Challenge is coming to Rapid City.
Come support your local firefighters as well as firefighters from across the nation for the first stop of the tour. They will race head-to-head simulating the physical demands of real life firefighting. There are five tasks to the course which include, climbing a five story building in full gear, fire hose hoist and drag, forcible entry, and rescuing a life-sized 175 pound “victim.”
They will be racing against each other and the clock to be the best of the best!
The event was organized by the Ellsworth Firefighter Combat Challenge Team and will take place at 1635 Caregiver Circle, at the Monument Health Orthopedic & Specialty Hospital. This is a two day event starting on Saturday, June 12th at 11 a.m.
Individuals and teams will run on Saturday, June 12th starting at 11 a.m. and relays and tandems will run on Sunday, June 13th starting at 11 a.m.
