Wow, I was definitely buying into it and contemplating doing their NJ race in November for $140 but not now. Will wait to hear some good things on it first.

I should clarify a couple things: I'm a hasher, so running while drinking/hungover is commonplace for me - it wasn't a COMPLETE walk in the park. It just wasn't what they advertised. Had they simply advertised it as a fun mud run with one KILLER hill (there was a part where we ran up a black diamond ski slope - definitely as tough as advertised. I had to crawl for part of it), I'd be 100% satisfied. I also got there early, was near the beginning, and had a fun team to do it with (Team Safety Third!). I'd definitely read the reviews on active.com though, as a lot of people had very bad experiences. Logistics were pretty horrible, with people waiting 2 hours + to get shuttled from the parking lot to the venue, missing their start times, waiting 45 minutes + for some obstacles which were eventually canceled, etc.

So if you go in dressing up (we did) drinking (we did) and not worried about your finishing time (because they decided not to keep time when they got 4000 more people than they thought they would), you can definitely have a great time. Just don't go in expecting Tough Guy UK.
