Barbed Wire Crawl

Getting down and dirty in the Barbed Wire Crawl is mandatory.  There are few things more challenging on your entire body than trekking through a rocky creek-bed on your elbows and knees trying to avoid getting ripped up by barbed wire just a few inches above you.  Arch your back a little too much and you will need a new shirt and some band-aids.  Lift your butt a bit too high and you may be mooning everyone behind you.

Racer Instructions:

• Crawl under the barbed wire (Rolling IS allowed).
• Packs / bottles must go through the barbed wire obstacle.
• No diving.

Failure Modes:

• Skipping the obstacle.
