ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Course Description:
It features 4 miles of extreme trail running through some of Louisiana’s toughest terrain, bolstered with tough military style obstacles that will push participants to their mental & physical boundaries. The course is revised each year; obstacles are added, moved and rotated, so that each year is a unique challenge. Runners will get plenty of mud, obstacles and challenge on the course as they navigate through mud pits, trek up hills and over barriers, have fun on the mud slide and try to keep themselves out of the Louisiana Swamp!
As with any outdoor obstacle running challenge, there are risks involved, but to ensure you make it safely to the finish line many precautions have been taken. Paramedics, aid stations and water stations are scattered throughout the course in case of an emergency, as well as safety personnel at all obstacles to ensure that all participants are safe
