Guide to the Challenge

We also recognize:

• First-Time Participants: receive an electronic certificate and patch. • New Record Holders: athletes setting a new State, Regional, U.S. or World Record receive an electronic certificate and patch. • LION’S DEN: athletes receive an electronic certificate, coin, and patch. The letterman jacket is presented later by a LION representative via a special public presentation at the athletes’ fire department. • House of Grind: athletes receive an electronic certificate and patch. Mailing Awards: if an athlete misses the awards ceremony and does not retrieve their medal before departing it will be at their expense to have any medals, trophies, coins and/or patches mailed to them. Athletes must request these items within 30 days after the conclusion of the event. Replacing Awards & Other Items: If an athlete would like to purchase a current LION’S DEN coin or lettermen jacket, they may do so at the items retail cost + shipping. Medals and lanyards cannot be replaced since the organization does not maintain these custom-made items from season to season.
