The Wolverine-Deacon Challenge started in 2010 as a mix of an endurance race and an obstacle course to see how far people could push themselves physically and mentally. It quickly became popular all over the US, thanks to military-style training and adventure racing. Participants have to climb ropes, cross mud pits, and run long distances. Early races in Michigan and Ohio drew more than 500 competitors each, which helped start a nationwide series and build a reputation for extreme but accessible adventure racing.

By 2015, the Wolverine-Deacon Challenge had grown to ten sites across the country, where more than 10,000 athletes competed every year. It got a lot of attention in fitness magazines and online sports communities for its unique challenges, such as the "Ice Crawl" and "Wall of Fury." Working with charity partners helped bring in more people, and top racers like Chris Thompson and Emily Vargas set course records. The challenge became a must-do for endurance athletes who wanted both competition and adventure.

The 2025 season of the Wolverine-Deacon Challenge has 12 events. Each year, the obstacles are changed to make them safer and more fun. Thousands of people watch live races and cheer on runners as they go through mud, water, and climbing sections. The best competitors break course records, while amateur competitors enjoy teamwork and success.
