Rugged Maniac is a 5K (3.1 mile) obstacle course race that combines the most rugged terrain and burly obstacles to allow those with a sense of adventure to define themselves, then bask in glory at a rocking after party with great bands, good food and plenty of beer! Each Rugged Maniac features at least twenty obstacles constructed by an experienced crew of licensed contractors. These arent the pop-up kiddie obstacles youll see at other races. Youll climb over walls up to 12 high, crawl through mud under barbed wire, slide down a 50 water slide, jump over fire and face many other challenges all while running through a combination of forests, fields, motocross tracks and ski slopes! Unlike other races, we wont run you around a golf course or parking lot and proclaim it rugged. We wont make you wait in ridiculous lines mid-course and pretend youve been challenged. Instead, we offer a truly challenging and well-organized course that beats all others. But you dont have to take our word for it. Check out what people are saying about us on Facebook.
