ADVENTURE WITH PURPOSE

Defender Trophy is all about inspiring real and global change for conservation causes, focusing on leaving a positive impact wherever it touches.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Defender Trophy will challenge the chosen few to explore their physical, emotional, and mental limits. Facing harsh outdoor environments, participants must conquer a series of driving, engineering, navigational and physical challenges.

BUILDING ON A LEGACY

For 70 years, Defender vehicles have explored the Earth’s extremes. Now our legacy has inspired a new generation of epic adventure, combining the thrill of the unknown with a spirit of togetherness.

THE JOURNEY

After three days of intense challenges in Mission, British Columbia, 120 competitors were put to the test, and only four finalists emerged above the rest.

Representing North America at the Defender Trophy Global Final are: Nathaniel Biggs and Tirin Cameron from the US, and Adrian Kowryha and Andrew "AJ" Leveille from Canada.  Watch how they earned their place, and where the adventure will take them next.
