Gladiator Challenge

Gladiator Challenge is Christ Classical Academy's annual family adventure race held at Phipps Farm, 4300 North Meridian Rd, Tallahassee, FL. Participants run and navigate obstacles that require moving over, under, through, and across a variety of structures. The event includes on-site food trucks, carnival games, bounce houses, a dunk tank, face painting, and other family activities.

The event offers multiple course options:

  • 5K 3.2 miles, 30+ obstacles, ages 16 and up
  • Youth 1.6 miles, 13+ obstacles, grades K-12
  • Junior less than 0.5 mile, 5+ obstacles, ages 3-6

Registration opens December 31, 2026 and closes April 20, 2027. Entry fees listed by the organizer are $25.00 for the Junior course and $35.00 for the Youth and 5K courses. The first 400 registrants who register by March 31 at 11:59 p.m. receive a free t-shirt. There is no race day registration and no race-only option this year.

Early race bag pick-up for non-Christ Classical Academy families is available the Friday before the event at Christ Classical Academy, 2205 Thomasville Rd. Participants who are eligible for more than one category should select the course that best fits their abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
