Kentucky Fitness Challenge (A Crossfit Style Steeplechase Run)

Are you up for the challenge?

This is not your ordinary flat Crossfit challenge or an obstacle run where you bypass the obstacles for a couple of pushups or burpees. This is a no-nonsense test of your fitness. There is no hype, no shirt that says you ran the "Beast" or the Trifecta when you walked around most of the obstacles. This is a straightforward course with straightforward expectations. Registration does include a shirt, but you only get it if you finish the course within the allotted time. 

The course consists of 2 Mile loops. Registrants will be notified via email of their allotted start time. All races (heats) will be between 9 am and 11 am.
