The Hunter Exam

Great Meadow

5089 Old Tavern Rd

The Plains, Virginia 20198 Map

Event Info

The Hunter Exam is a unique elimination style fitness event, where finalists earn a coveted “hunter license”. This license not only comes with prestige, but access to future events, perks under The Hunters Association, and private access to the pro hunter portal.

The 1st phase of the event is a 10 mile cross country run. We will eliminate about 50% of the field after this race, based on time.

Subsequent phases include a game called assassin where participants all have a flag attached to their waist and need to acquire the flag of a specific target. Labyrinth, where we have devised mental and physical challenges for participants to get through. Deception, a game where participants have to stay on their toes and figure out who they can trust and finally, 1 on 1 combat.

Registration opens at 6:30am.
Start time for phase 1 is at 8:00am.

Food and water will be available for purchase on site.
