About the course:

This is a difficult course designed to challenge participants both physically and mentally. Hosted and developed by a retired US Navy SEAL! 65 private acres with Jeep, ATV, and hiking trails wind participants through woods, up across mountain tops, slog runners through creeks and ponds and up against natural and man made obstacles such as hop-over walls, log balances, rope bridges, log hurdles, and a near vertical hillside rope climb. The course boasts nearly 2,400ft of combined elevation rise and fall.
This is a course like no other!

Come prepared to get dirty, wet, muddy, sweaty, and tired!



Want to camp?

Primitive camping is available on event property! Limited spots open for use during event weekend. Bring your food, water, and drinks... let's have fun together!

Primitive camping means no facilities. The main event area will have a large water tank for race participants to wash down legs and feet and for campers general water use. This water will not be certified for drinking. Porta-potties will be located in the main event area for use.

The following is required for overnight camping:
 
-Reasonable monetary donation for each nights stay
-Responsible behavior and cleanup after camp use
-Clarification / permission / assingment from race director prior to event weekend

Sorry, no campsite campfires allowed! However, join us all Friday and Saturday nights for a bonfire in the main event area!

Contact us for details regarding availability and how many people and tents you have. We have a mixture of walk in sites as well as drive in (or nearby) sites.
Some small RV / pop-up sites available.

**To help make this a fun weekend for all, the race director (property owner) reserves the right to cancel camping privileges for those acting like jerks!
Physical removal probable.**
