What? What's wrong with the name--the commandos it is referencing are military commandos. Quit your giggling.
This is a 5K race with *gulp* 10 obstacles!! These obstacles, lovingly called "adventures" by their website, include (and yes, I took this text from their site, full credit goes to them):
"Hay Fever Ridge- a climb over bales of hay. The adventure starts with rectangular bales placed next to large, round bales of hay. Up, over and down!
The Serpent- a serpentine path up the side of a hill. The path has been mowed through the 3.5 ft high prairie grass.
Black Holes- a climb through 48” black conduit pipe.
Log Jam- a neatly stacked pile of storm-downed trees.
Minefield- a field of car tires to jog through.
Into the Wild- a run up, run down, run up, run down through rows of pine trees on a surface of pine needles. The rows form a switch-back effect for both exercise and the excitement of watching others switch back and forth as you too navigate the obstacle.
Fire in the Hole- running down a path, hopping over some burning logs.
Swamp Commando- a watery adventure.
Run the Sahara- running over several natural mounds of sand up the side of a hill.
Over the Falls- a water slide down the side of a hill three adventures before the finish."
It's official. All runners of this race are crazy...though it seems a little tame compared to the Warrior Dash that is less than a month away!! Have you signed up to volunteer for WWV at the Warrior Dash yet? Email me for info. : )
