Rob Gronkowski helping kickstart gamified obstacle course called 'Stadium Blitz'

The former Patriots tight end is teaming up with Stadium Blitz and Gronk Nation to bring a gamified obstacle course which will hit select stadiums beginning in October.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Stadium Blitz, former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, and Gronk Nation launched a new gamified obstacle course that "is designed to make the fun and empowering experience of obstacle course racing available to every fitness level, and children as young as seven-years-old," according to the press release. 

The stadium-based obstacle race design, coupled with innovative scoring technology creates a unique environment for fitness enthusiast at all levels. Racers are allowed to create their destiny by choosing how hard they want to be tested, which will ultimately dictate which course they will take. The course is connected to RFID timing and point tracking, which will determine how a racer finishes amongst their competitors. 

The races will begin in Buffalo, NY on October 12, 2019 and will continue in different stadiums across the country after that. For more information, go to StadiumBlitz.com.

According to the PR Staff, it is unknown whether this event launch is correlated to the announcement Gronkowski will make on Aug. 27 relating to the "next chapter" of his life.
