About WWC
Wisdom Warrior Challenge is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to inspire seniors to live an active, healthy lifestyle.
The Wisdom Warrior Challenge (WWC) is a senior-centric annual track event for participants 50-100+ years old. The goal of this unique event is to promote physical activity, connection, and a sense of community while dispelling myths about aging and the ability to remain active.
WWC is a completely free "box" event, providing everything you need to host a successful event. Thanks to our generous sponsors, there is no cost to participate and the event is inclusive to all seniors, hosting separate divisions by distance, age, and for those using a walking device such as a walker, cane, or self-propelled wheelchair. The athletes will be recognized for their place at their local event and for their overall standing in the nationwide challenge which includes all participating facilities. The community with the most points will hold the Wisdom Cup until the next annual event!​
The Wisdom Warrior Challenge culminates with a final live-virtual National Awards Ceremony that is live-streamed across several platforms with all participating communities, fans, friends, and volunteers in virtual attendance to celebrate our fantastic super seniors!
WHY DO WE
DO THIS?!
The less we move, the more we put ourselves at risk for numerous detrimental and life-changing diseases, including heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, and premature death. Scientific evidence consistently shows that physical activity is the best prescription for preventing and managing metabolic disorders.
Recent data indicates that over 40% of people aged 55 and over are inactive, compared to 29% of the general adult population. However, the good news is that the solution is within our control! By making positive lifestyle choices and staying active, we can take charge of our health and reduce the risk of these serious conditions.
Let’s use this evidence-based approach to improve our well-being and enjoy a healthier, more vibrant life.
