Course

The Course:  Our adventure run with fourteen mostly natural obstacles are waiting to test your endurance and commitment to be an extremist.  The 5K obstacle course through beautiful dense woods, hills and creeks are the most excruciating challenges to encounter.  Acres of inclines and declining hills throughout this 5K will put your body in shock, while the dark, eerie underground Mine portion riddled with white gravel boasts an experience like no other race can.  It’s the only underground race of its kind in the Tri-State area! 

The Obstacles:  Besides the incredible elevation changes of Inclines, Descents and Dips throughout the property, here are a few fun challenges that will push your muscles to their breaking point.

The Mines- 56 degrees year round, while partially lit by electric as well as more antiquated methods. Each passageway is approximately 20-30' wide and 20'+ high. It’s huge, dark and beautiful to behold as you speed through the maze inside.  Other obstacles include: 

Chilly Jordan- a waist deep wade through Mines water. Did we mention its 50 degrees?

NEW* Tame the Flame- a fire jump-over testing your leap of faith.

NEW* Rope Rider- brace yourself for a balancing act on a rope bridge crossover . 

Sweat Net- a handmade cargo net climb requiring great strength. 

Pondered- ponder whether to swim through or skim by the natural pond. 

Highway to Heaven- rope assisted pull uphill on a 45-55 degree angle beast

Devil’s Descent- rope assisted twisty descent to your doom.  Steady now.

Belly Bog- shimmey through a natural branch covering, end with an army style mud crawl.

Decision Valley- an over and under pass through inconveniently placed trees.   

Cross Carry- bear the burden of a  rugged log on your back through the woods.   

Squeeze Breeze- a small tube crawl to slow you down, but it’s a breeze!
