4-H Club Challenge

ABC Challenge – 4-H ClubRaces!

Come together as a club or just a group of 4-H friends from your county to create a team!

That means you can bring together friends from across your county — different clubs, different projects, different ages — and unite as a 4-H team to take on the ABC Challenge and other teams!

The ABC Challenge features:
✔️ 25+ obstacles (mud pits, wall climbs & more!)
✔️ 5 team challenges completed together
✔️ Friendly competition against other teams/counties
✔️ Serious teamwork moments
✔️ And LOTS of MUD!

This event is all about:
🤝 Team building
💪 Encouraging one another
🎯 Working toward a shared goal
💚 Showing 4-H pride!

Remember — the clock doesn’t stop until the last teammate crosses the finish line. It takes everyone supporting everyone!

So gather your 4-H friends from across your county, build your dream team, and get ready to compete, connect, and get muddy together!

Who’s ready to take on the challenge? 🔥💚

Please email your club’s intention to participate by May 15 so we can get you the Google Sheet set to go.
