The Beastlake Obstacle course is designed to test your total fitness including strength, speed, agility, balance, and endurance. It follows the same 5k course but adds 15 obstacles including old favorites like the ninja wall, slanted steps, spider climb, and floorless room. This race will be chip timed with awards for overall and age group finishers. Experience a new challenge with this fun and physically demanding race.

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

2. Spider climb. This has been a favorite obstacle and has been upgraded for 2024. Last year we replaced the ropes with a climbing net that has more cross-sections which provides more handholds and footholds. This year we are doubling the size of the net as well as adding rope to continually improve the obstacle,You must climb up, go over the crossbeam and down the other side to successfully complete. If you are uncomfortable with heights and/or unable to complete the obstacle, you must complete a penalty exercise.

3. Tire agility drill. New and Improved. This obstacle has been completely revamped for 2024, Instead of the traditional tire agility drill. We have added a different twist. Plywood has been cut to fit and bolted to the tires. Instead of stepping through them, you will hop from tire to tire, with a couple of mini trampolines spaced in between them.

4. Balance beam. Maintain your balance crossing a 12 foot 4x4. Athletes have two options. They can choose to cross a level beam over an inflatable pool filled with water or an ascending beam over dry ground. Step off the beam and you must complete a penalty exercise.

5. Hay bale rope swing. Climb atop an approximately 6 ft hay bale, advance to the next hay bale and slide off the second hay bale. New for ‘24 the rope has been lengthened and athletes can use the rope to climb the first hay bale and swinging to the second before sliding off the second.

Jungle Gym Rope Obstacle with Rings. Traverse the rope rings between two trees. Based on feedback from past participants, we have added an additional ring. If you drop and touch the ground before reaching the last ring, you must complete a penalty exercise.

6. Rope climb. (5KOC only) New for ‘24. Located in the wooded-trail section of the course; competitors must climb a 14 foot rope attached to a tree.

7. Boulder lift. New for ‘24. (5KOC only). Lift the rock over the wall.

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

9. Warped wall. All new for 2024. A completely new wall for 2024. The wall retains its same shape but stands 10 feet high. The climbing rope has been removed. This affords most competitors the opportunity to summit the wall as originally designed. This remains an optional obstacle, but a series of drills must be performed if this obstacle is not completed.

10. Footwork agility drilll (5K OC only). Similar to the past tire agility drill. You must step through a series of ropes attached to a PVC grid inches from the ground. This year there will be two identical rope courses. You can choose the routine course or to be soaked with supper soakers manned by the cheer team as you step through the ropes.

11. Hay bale hurdles. New and Improved. The old five hay bales have been replaced with more interesting hurdles. The obstacle starts, innocently enough, with the traditional rectangular hay bale hurdle. It is followed by a wall. Stacked hay bales, a taller wall and a round hay bale, all of which increase in height.

Slanted steps. Modified for this year. Grip tape is attached to the steps to improve traction. Jump from side to side without touching the ground.

12. 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. If your feet touch the ground, you must complete a penalty exercise.

13. 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. Also, a rope is attached to help all athletes summit the hay bale mountain. Can’t climb over. You know the drill by now. Complete a penalty exercise.

Optional Waterslide. The waterslide will return for 2024. We are currently still evaluating the best course placement. We want to make sure to place this in an area of the course for maximum fun without creating a slick environment for any obstacles.

Competitors must not skip any obstacles. The lone exception is the Ninja wall which is optional, but a substantial exercise penalty is assessed for skipping and/or failing to go up and over the wall. An honest effort must be made to complete all obstacles. A penalty exercise must be completed for any obstacle not successfully completed.

Athletes may choose any one of the following penalty exercises for failure to complete any obstacle except the Ninja wall. Athletes may choose the same or a different penalty exercise for subsequent obstacles not successfully completed. Athletes must complete THREE OF THE FOUR penalty exercises for not going over the Ninja wall. No penalty is assessed for skipping the water slide.

There will be two starting times participants can choose from 7:45am or 8:15am.
