The Course

Here's the course: it should be around 5.5 miles of off and on road excitement for you and your team. For the competitive runners, there will be one surprise challenge added towards the end of the race. We're certain you'll love to talk about it after the event but you'll probably hate it during the race. (picture us providing you with a devious laugh as you read this) FYI - it's not another duck walk but that might be fun for your team right?!

Listed below are the challenges and obstacles you can expect to encounter on our course. We've provided links to video demonstrations of as many of them as we can - just click on the challenge listed for more info. Be prepared or be slow and get yelled at! Be advised that these obstacles and challenges may change in order of severity depending on how many Marines we have on the course. The more Marines we have, the tougher it will be on you.
