Like its sister business, Conquer the Gauntlet, Conquer Youth brings people together to overcome obstacles—quite literally. The Tulsa-based, family-owned company behind both brands has been organizing obstacle-course races since 2012, introducing others to the character-building challenges and rewards of its events. But while Conquer the Gauntlet is made for adults, Conquer Youth is geared toward kids.

Composed of about 10 challenges scattered along a 1.5-mile route, each Young Lions Obstacle Course requires little ones to climb, crawl, and maneuver their way toward victory. For everyone's safety, it doesn't include swimming, and most obstacles include two versions to choose from, suiting a range of ages and ability levels.
