Event Description

The Grit and Grace Challenge is a recruiting event at Kezar Stadium. This is an opportunity for underrepresented youth in the Bay Area, ages 17-30, to showcase their resilience, determination, and aspiration to secure high income generating jobs in the fitness industry and beyond. There are 5 events that test physical strength, endurance, skills acquisition and basic fitness knowledge. From this challenge, we select up to 12 individuals to receive a full scholarship valued over $6,000 to participate in a 10-week Mentor Up! Personal Training Apprenticeship program.
