THE CHALLENGE COIN

Earned. Never Given.

Every challenge has a story. Every finisher earns a coin.
Unlike a medal handed out at the finish line, every Gritty Soldier Challenge Coin must be earned. Complete the challenge to the required standard, submit your results, and once they’re officially verified, your coin is yours.

HOW IT WORKS

01
COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE
Meet every requirement for the selected challenge. Every event has a clearly defined standard that must be achieved.
02
SUBMIT YOUR PROOF
Upload your activity files, photos, or other required documentation through your challenge dashboard for review.
03
OFFICIAL VERIFICATION
Every submission is reviewed to ensure it meets the published standard. If it qualifies, your result is officially recorded on the lifetime leaderboard.
04
EARN YOUR COIN
Once your result is verified, your exclusive Challenge Coin is shipped to you — a permanent reminder that you earned your place.
COLLECT THE SERIES
More Than One Coin
Every challenge has its own unique Challenge Coin. Complete that challenge again, and you’ll earn the next coin in that challenge’s series — a new design that marks another successful completion. The more you return, the more your collection grows. Your coins become a visual record of every standard you’ve met and every challenge you’ve conquered.
Anyone can buy a medal.
Not everyone can EARN a Gritty Soldier Challenge Coin.
