The Tough Gator Challenge is an obstacle course and mud run for Lewiston-area elementary school children and their families. The next (rain-or-shine!) event is scheduled for Saturday, June 1, 2019 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Geiger Elementary School on College Street in Lewiston. Participants will start in waves every 15 minutes throughout the day.

We are in our sixth year of the Tough Gator Challenge and we draw approximately 700 participants each year from the area.

The focus of the event is on being active, using teamwork, getting muddy and having fun! While the course is designed for elementary-aged participants, parents are welcome and encouraged to register and run alongside their kids. It is not a timed race, but a challenge everyone should be proud of finishing. All youth finishers will receive a t-shirt (generously donated by the Geiger company) and the honorary title of “Tough Gator”.

REGISTER:  The cost to register is $8 per person in advance and $10 per person on the day of the event. You can either print the registration form and mail or deliver it to the school or register on line using a credit card.  The day will include concessions, music, lots of mud and lots of fun! Proceeds will benefit the non-profit Geiger Elementary School PTO, which supports enrichment and community-building opportunities for Geiger students.
