Wonder Woman Winner
posted (May 26, 2017)
The women of the Belize Coast Guard and BDF took on the second and final leg of the annual Wonder Woman Challenge today. After a six-mile relay and a run-swim-run race yesterday, the security forces participated in a "burdened" relay race, and an obstacle course this morning and afternoon. We spoke to one of the competitors not long after she completed the obstacle course, and she told us about the intensity of the events and the training required to complete them...

But it's not just exercise, the Wonder Woman Challenge is a competition, and a winner was crowned this afternoon. The Coast Guard and BDF were divided into two teams each and ranked according to the time it took them to finish the events. The BDF's Grey Team place first after winning every event. The Coast Guard's Green Team came in second followed by the BDF's Blue Team and finally the Coast Guard's Pink Team in fourth. So this year's Wonder Women are from the BDF.

Plans are already being made to expand the competition next year and include females from other security forces.
