Description

Experience the ultimate Run-n-Gun-style competition—an exhilarating blend of physical endurance and precision shooting—hosted by Old Eighteen Defense at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico.

Over a challenging 6–8 mile course set amid rugged, high-desert terrain, competitors carry both rifle and pistol as they tackle multiple dynamic shooting stages. Expect varied terrain, demanding movement, weapon transitions, and target challenges that push both body and mind. Each stage must be completed within 3 minutes, and there’s no resupply once you’re on course.

This isn’t just a competition—it’s a test of your gear, stamina, adaptability, and mental grit. Old Eighteen Defense pairs cutting-edge scoring technology and transparent real-time updates with top-tier safety standards, ensuring a fast, fair, and fully immersive experience.

Whether you’re an experienced competitor or a first-time enthusiast, this event welcomes all skill levels—no gold-plated gear required. Bring what you’ve got, challenge yourself, and join a community built around camaraderie, learning, and pushing limits—safely and responsibly.
