THE ARCTIC CHALLENGE

Making Waves On The Top Of The World

The Arctic Challenge is a 600-mile, record-setting expedition across the Arctic Ocean—led by a diverse American crew, rowing nonstop through freezing seas to test human limits, inspire the next generation, and support youth-driven causes.

CHALLENGE

Undertaking the challenge of a lifetime, the team will row 1000 Kilometer across the unforgiving Arctic Ocean. In a 9.6 Meter man-powered boat, they will face polar storms, brutal temperatures, and wildlife encounters, all while pushing the limits of human endurance.

TEAM

Despite their diverse backgrounds, the team is bonded through a love for adventure and a passion for high performance. With a world record on the line, the team will leverage their unique expertise, stemming from careers in the NFL, Navy SEALs, and Team USA.

MISSION

The impact of The Arctic Challenge goes far beyond the 4 athletes and the Arctic Ocean. With the mission to inspire young minds, the team aims to challenge the next generation to push beyond their limiting beliefs and chart their own course toward extraordinary achievements.
