Course Description

This course will be CHALLENGING. Would you expect anything less from Marines? It consists roughly of 3 miles of off-road running, which entails some obstacles, hills, and of course, mud pits. We recommend that you wear old clothing and shoes as well as long pants. This off road adventure takes you across scenic trails and fields, obstacles, and ends with a splash through refreshing water and a mud pit. It is open to individuals and teams. Be prepared for some real clean fun! Showers available for those who will need to be cleansed afterwards...Marines will make sure you complete their course! Ooh-rah! Refreshments afterwards for all. Good luck!

If you arrive for your registered start time more than 10 minutes after your chosen wave starts, you will need to contact the timer and start in a later start wave. You should arrive at the park one hour before your registered starting time.
