Today it’s the country’s largest and most loved obstacle course racing series, known for larger-than-life obstacles and innovative courses that keep pushing the boundaries of the sport.

WHO IS THE RACE FOR?

Anyone. All you need is a pair of old trail running shoes and a spirit of adventure. 

Runners, CrossFit athletes and endurance competitors love it, but so does anyone with a wild side who loves the outdoors, isn’t afraid to get dirty, and wants to face their fears and make memories that last long after the mud washes off.
