THE 40-YARD
DASH CHALLENGE

Where Do You Rank?

The Competition

This isn't a tryout. This isn't a test. This is a head-to-head elimination competition to find out who the fastest athletes in your area really are. You line up. You race side by side. Rounds eliminate half the field until only the fastest remain. Every athlete gets ranked. The question is simple — are you the fastest, or is it the kid next to you?

Who Can Compete

You don't have to be a track athlete. Football, soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball — if you play a sport, you belong here. The 40-Yard Dash Challenge measures what every sport demands: speed, power, and the ability to perform under pressure.
