Held at SPIRE Institute in Ohio, the event features a $250K prize pool ($125K each for winners), full travel, and chaperones for all participants. Think Ninja Warrior meets classic American sports — with obstacle courses designed by ANW pros and celebrity hype from Dean Cain. Spearheaded by Freedom 250 and backed by President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., it’s part of a controversial series including a UFC card on the White House lawn — and the President himself is expected to attend the finale.
