A Raider competition or “Raiders” as it is more commonly known is a very popular athletic competition held within high school JROTC programs around the United States. It is the Army JROTC equivalent of the Army ROTC “Ranger Challenge” competition in college. The events are held outdoors and designed for a small group of physically fit and mentally tough cadets to compete in various outdoor activities. The competition focuses on leadership, physical fitness, mental focus, and emotional wellness. Raider competitions normally have 5 events consisting of personal fitness, distance team running event, obstacle course event, rescue/first aid event, and rope bridge construction/transport component event.
