The Heart Mountain Challenge returns in late June 2026 to historic Heart Mountain north of Cody, Wyoming. This two-day, high-altitude precision rifle competition brings together more than 150 elite military and civilian marksmen to test skill, endurance, and judgment in support of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF).
Designed as a demanding field match, competitors engage difficult, timed targets across two separate shooting areas over rugged mountain terrain exceeding 7,000 feet in elevation. Shooters rotate areas on day two to ensure equal exposure to both sides of the course.
