Zombie Run Obstacles...

There will be several obstacles on the course we are running in February. I don't want anyone to get anxious worrying about the obstacles. They should be challenging for folks, without being something that will be unmanageable. There are several small hills in rows in places, like whoop-de-doos that folks will have to go up and down, nothing too big.
Our crew hard at work....

There will be some under and over set ups. Where you have to go under a cable or rope, and then over a stack of tires, then under a wire, then over bricks, under a wire, over a tree trunk, or something else, and repeat it again several times in a row. This will definitely get lower body muscles burning.

There will be a 35 foot pole bridge. Not a problem. It is a 35 foot span with an 18 inch wide plank walkway. No handrails. Your sense of balance will have to carry you over it. Only a few feet off the ground, so no real chance of injury if you fall.

There will be a stack of six foot tall tractor tires standing up on their treads side by side, filled with sand and gravel so the insides are level. You will have to crawl through them from one end to the other. About 15-20 feet.


There will be a low crawl section. You will have to low crawl under a set of crisscrossing wires for about 20 feet. Wires are about two and a half feet above the ground. No machine guns firing over your head.  I brought in a load of nice clean soft sand to cover the rocks and sharp gravel.

There will be logs across the trail at different places, and maybe piles of car tires you will have to climb over, depression in the ground, piles of dirt. Maybe some landmines, punji pits.... just kidding!!. Nothing designed to cause any injury, right? We have been going over everything and making sure there are no sharp edges, or anything that can cause an injury. 

We have not finished with all of the obstacles, so if you have a favorite, non injury causing obstacle, just add it in the comments below. I will post pics of the obstacles in another post. See you there!
