The Samson Challenge is a four-person team event with each team put through twelve gruelling challenges, which include a farmers walk with jerry cans, a prowler push, a 130-kilogram truck tyre flip, a burpee challenge, a 2×2 kilometre run, a one-kilometre swim, a sled pull, and a crazy obstacle course to complete.

The quickest team to complete all the challenges wins the coveted Samson Title and bragging rights for the next twelve months.

At Samson, there are four events: Samson Solo (Friday night), Team Samson (Saturday),
Samson Teen Sprint (Saturday), Samson Kids (Saturday).

The Samson is a major fundraiser for Our Kids, the charity that raises money to purchase paediatric equipment for the Children’s Ward and Special Care Nursery at Lismore Base Hospital.
