RHF Texas Ninja Warrior Challenge - TX

Conquer the course, push your limits, and have fun—Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course at Fort Hood awaits! Get ready for one of the most exciting experiences of the year! RHF Ninja Warrior is coming to Fort Hood for a full week of challenge, competition, and family connection. On September 19th, 20th, and 26th, the Ninja Warrior Course Challenge will take over the III Corps HQ / Sadowski Parade Field (inside the main gate), bringing a high-energy obstacle course experience directly to the military community. This event is designed for athletes, first-time runners, and families who want to test themselves, cheer each other on, and build memories together. Participants will climb, swing, balance, and push through obstacles that demand grit, strength, and focus—while friends and family watch and celebrate every attempt. We will offer multiple course experiences to meet different ability levels, including an Elite Course, an Intermediate Course, and a Kids Fun Zone, so everyone has a lane to participate. The opening weekend will be paired with MWR’s Oktoberfest, creating a stronger event environment and increased attendance for both experiences. Throughout the week, RHF will also provide opportunities for unit and organizational access (as scheduling allows), giving commands and groups a chance to use the course as a team-building and morale experience. At the Rick Herrema Foundation, our mission is simple: we strengthen military families by creating free, fun, intentional experiences where they can reconnect. RHF does not charge military families for entry, programs, or activities -- ever. Ninja Warrior is one of our biggest experiences, and it exists to give military families a place to have fun, get active, and try something new together!
