Behind the Story

We're Challenging South Africa to challenge themselves

What started as a personal challenge in an effort to add a cookie to the cookie jar, as Goggins likes to say, has exploded into an annual opportunity for men and women from across the country to get together, have fun, build relationships and put their minds and body to the test.

"Our goal is to push people past their comfort zone to show them what they're capable of."

Drew Birch

Founder

Our mission is to facilitate an opportunity for fun, community and a very personal show of strength that encourages participants to live out the fullness of their potential throughout the rest of the year.

  • Gather your crew, support one another
  • Choose your accommodation options
  • Train and prepare
  • STAY HARD

Growth into a “have-to-join” event that stands shoulder to shoulder with the biggest events on the South African endurance circuit known for quality, difficulty and fun.

Past Runners

James Freemantle

Paid Media Agency Owner
Physically and mentally one of the toughest things I have ever done. For anyone looking to test their discipline and perseverance - this is the event for you.

Tamlyn Gill

Lynotherapist | Trail Runner
It is definitely a test of personal grit, mental fortitude and determination as each person is there for a reason and at one point or another between the laps, everyone is facing some sort of pain. However, the shared experience and the camaraderie forged is what makes this challenge unforgettable.

Conrad Kieser

Partner Film Production
The Goggins Challenge pushed me past what I thought was possible. On top of that the catering, accommodation and energy of the entire event is like nothing I have ever experienced. Prep well, bring snacks and STAY HARD.

Nick Oberhozer

Former South African Rower
The Goggins Challenge was an intense yet rewarding experience. Drew was exceptional, ensuring every detail was perfect. The event was filled with amazing food, great people and a challenge that will push you beyond what you believe you are capable of.

Gillian Maxwell

The Goggins Challenge is a true test of grit and resilience. It is an incredible experience made even better by the amazing organising team and like-minded people that attend.

Henko Schwab

Founder "Keppie"
Dit was die openings woorde van die 2023 Goggins challenge. Die challenge gee vir jou perspektief oor hoeveel jy kan doen en hoeveel jy op die tafel los. Dit maak nie saak hoe fiks jy is nie, dit gaan suck en dis wonderlik. Die uitdaging gaan jou leer om op te daag en dit gaan jou lewe verander!

Robin Seabrook

CFO, CCO
Goggins is the toughest funnest connection with others that I have ever experienced…. In 48 hours, my mind had reset, my body had pushed past all boundaries and I left with new friends and memories that last to this day.
