Scale up a merciless wall 20 feet in the air, straddle the ledge, and slide down to hit the ground running.

Time to escape! You can’t be afraid to get your feet wet for this one. Swim out to floating docks in the water, climb up and over, and make sure you still have enough energy to swim to shore.

You may need a friend for this one. You’ll climb up 60 feet of cargo net and cross another 10 feet of shifting cargo. Hang on tight and don’t look down.

9+ Miles. 36+ Obstacles. Hills. Mud. Harder than Hell. Join U.S. Navy SEALs for an event you will never forget. With a minimum of 36 Navy SEAL-style obstacles spread out over 9 miles, the course will test everyone and leave no one unscathed. We place an obstacle approximately every 1/4-mile so your running ability alone will not carry the day. You must be functionally fit to succeed here. You will get muddy. You will get beat up. You will be exhausted. But you will finish.

BattleFrog has released information about their upcoming Austin Event. They have produced their Festival Events and a Course Map with a list of the obstacles you can expect.

There is nothing better than getting your body the fuel it needs to recover from a good working. It is common practice for athletes of all levels to refuel their body with protein and nutrients after working out, and you should too. Protein before and after a workout helps to promote muscle growth and keep things balanced.

If you have ever done a Spartan Race (or any other OCR), you already know there are a lot of obstacles that require you to pull something.

Spartan Races offer race types for all types of competitive athletes. The common misconception is that many believe the shorter distance races are easy. We are talking about Spartan Races here, nothing is easy. These races are designed to challenge you, no matter the distance.

Life is a journey of unparalleled experiences and unexpected obstacles. Sometimes waiting for the perfect opportunity is not an option so you have to take an opportunity and make it perfect. My personal story begins with that reasoning. At the age of just 12, I became overwhelmed with temptations and peer pressure. I did not value my own being let alone the ones around me. I was selfish, insecure, and uncomfortable in my own skin. I began to surround myself with others who felt the same way who lacked care and compassion. I became addicted to sneaking out, using tobacco products, drinking alcohol, and getting high.
