This is a great race to do with friends and at your own pace, especially if you’re a beginner in the fitness world. I was looking for something a bit more competitive and was frustrated when I had to wait in line at almost every obstacle and I did not feel challenged. There was, surprisingly, not much mud at all. And in my wave almost no one was actually running except for my friends and I :(Not wanting to finish sparkly clean, I dunked my body in the last mud pit at the end and was able to get that«muddy experience». I also had to wait in a very, very long line to get my bib and the lines weren’t very organized, but for a first time race that could have been expected. I went in with the wrong expectations so now I know that it’s not my kind of race, but a lot of women around me seemed to have a fabulous time! Some even dressed up and had awesome costumes. My friends and I took the Xsport fitness classes that were offered before starting the race and had a blast. I’d recommend it if you want to do a low-key race with a group of friends, without any«race pressures».
