4-Person Teams. 4 Workouts. 1 Goal.

The University of Denver’s Student Veterans Association is hosting the return of the annual Hero Games that will test your wit and your mettle. Register and name your team of four (can be coed, all-male, or all-female as long as everyone is at least 18 years) and step onto the field to compete, have fun, and honor our fallen service members. 

The Hero Games event is designed to help strengthen the DU community of students, student-veterans, and local community members while helping DU's Student Veteran Association (SVA) generate revenue to fund future inclusive initiatives. If you're looking for a team-building exercise that will challenge you both mentally and physically, look no further than the Hero Games.

To show our appreciation for your support and hard work, participants will receive an exclusive customized event t-shirt, an event bag (to collect all your swag), and prizes for top three finishing teams!
