The Beastlake Obstacle course is designed to test your total fitness including strength, speed, agility, balance, and endurance. The obstacle course race follows the trail of the 5K Race. Along the side of the trail will be 16 obstacles including the signature Ninja wall. The obstacles are designed to test speed, strength, agility, balance and stamina. This race will be chip timed with awards for overall and age group finishers. Experience a new challenge over Independence weekend with this fun and physically demanding race.

        Beastlake Obstacle Course Family Fun Run - 8:45AM
The Family Fun Run is a scaled down version of race. It is 1.5 miles in length and contains 7 obstacles. This run is designed for people who are new to obstacle course racing, families who want to participate with their children. Basically anyone who wants to try a new fitness experience. The run will be timed but the emphasis is on fellowship and participation over results and a personal best time.

OBSTACLE COURSE OVERVIEW

We have a new course for 2023 that starts and finishes on the track behind the church.  This will provide a great meeting area for athletes, families and spectators and offers views of much of the course.   Obstacles have been added and old favorites have been modified to continually improve the course. New for 2023 is a “ stay cool” option to the course that includes a ‘slip n slide” type water slide down part of the course, an option to do the balance beam over an inflatable pool. and an option to run through a section of sprinklers midway through the race.  All the water features are OPTIONAL and designed to bring an additional fun experience to the race.

1.    Military crawl.  Crawl under a 20 feet long 18” high rope and pvc pipe obstacle.

2.    Spider climb.  New for 2023.  This has been a favorite obstacle but we have improved it this year.  Instead of climbing straight up and down, we have angled the ascent and descent.  Now shaped like a tent, the climbing experience and safety are both improved.Climb up and over the rope web sandwiched between two trees.

3.    Hay bale rope swing.  Climb atop an approximately 6 ft hay bale and swing to the next hay bale.

4.    Tire agility drill.  Step through a series of tires.

5.    Balance beam.  Maintain your balance crossing a 20 ft log.  New for 2023.  Athletes have the option to choose either the standard balance beam or the one suspended over an inflatable pool.

6.    Jungle Gym Rope Obstacle with Rings.  Traverse five rope rings between two trees.

7.    Hay bale hurdles.   Hurdle over 5 rectangular hay bales.

8.    NEW.  Optional water slide.  Competitors can choose whether to run or slide down a hill.

9.    Tire flip. (5K OC only).  Flip a large tire 5 times.

10.    Log carry (5k OC only).  Lift and carry a heavy log through a PVC lined maze, ducking through and around a couple of tight areas.

11.    NEW.  Optional sprinkler run.  Not really an obstacle but an option.  Course temporarily splits and competitors can choose the “stay dry” option or “stay cool run through the sprinklers” option.

12.    NEW.  Footwork agility drill.  (5K OC only). Similar to the tire agility drill. You must step through a series of ropes attached to a PVC grid inches from the ground.

13.    Warped wall.  14ft foot warped wall built to the specs of the wall on American Ninja Warrior.  This is a bonus obstacle.  It is not required but there is a 3:00 time bonus/deduction for successfully going up and over the wall.  The fastest way to complete is to run straight up the wall but a rope is attached to assist all athletes in making it over the wall.

14.    Slanted steps.  Modified for this year.  The slanted steps have been lengthened and anchored to improve this obstacle.  Jump from side to side without touching the ground.

15.    The Floorless Room.  Similar to the spider jump on American Ninja warrior, competitors must use their arms and legs pressed against plywood walls to cross an 8 ft wall section without touching the ground.  Walls are slightly angled to give all athletes a chance to successfully complete the obstacle.

16.    Hay bale mountain.  Last but not least, when you are really tired, you must climb over three hay bales.  Two form the base with one stacked in the middle.  Approximate height is 12 feet.   Good news.  The finish is downhill.

Rules.   Competitors must not skip any obstacles.  The lone exception is the Ninja wall which is optional.  An honest effort must be made to complete all obstacles.   A penalty exercise must be done for any obstacle not successfully completed.

1st penalty.     20 jumping jacks
2nd penalty.  20 Push ups
3rd penalty.   20 burpees

PETS AND STROLLERS ARE PROHIBITED.
***All obstacles listed will be included.  Due to the new course, the order of obstacles may change.
