Boot Camp Challenge 3-Mile Obstacle Run

Located at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, the Boot Camp Challenge is a 3-mile obstacle run open to the public for a day. Participants navigate course obstacles while being cheered on by more than 60 Marine Corps Drill Instructors, with the course designed for all fitness levels and no penalties for missed obstacles. The event includes two water stations and on-course medical support, plus spectator areas and shuttle access to the main obstacle zone.

A special feature in 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps: adults 18+ can win a Harley‑Davidson motorcycle and riding lessons. Proceeds support MCCS; awards honor top individuals and teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
