Defender Trophy: The Ultimate Global Adventure Challenge

Defender is on the lookout for people with an unstoppable spirit of adventure. The brand has launched the Defender Trophy, a new global competition inspired by the legendary Trophy and Challenge events of the past. This time, it’s not just about adventure—it’s about creating a lasting legacy with a meaningful conservation mission.

The Defender Trophy will take participants through three tough stages of training and competition. It’s open to individuals from over 50 countries who are ready to embrace the impossible and contribute to global conservation efforts.

For decades, Defender has been the trusted vehicle of explorers and adventurers. Now, it’s inviting a new generation to take part. Local selection rounds will start this summer, followed by national finals next spring. The winners will advance to the global final in Africa in 2026, held in partnership with Tusk, Defender’s long-term conservation ally.

The global winners will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition that combines adventure with real-world impact, supporting conservation efforts and leaving a positive legacy wherever they go.
