Has anyone done who of their races in the past? There's a new one at an AFB here in NJ in November and trying to get an idea of a reasonable pace for this compared to a normal 10K. It's gotta be significantly slower given all the mud pits, walls, tunnels, etc. Here's the info on the NJ race if anyone is interested.

1. Mud trench/hill – 15’ wide x 20’ long x 4’ high. Runners will run up the 4’ and then down into the muddy goodness.
2. Tire steps – the tires will not be packed close together, but will be distributed across the width of the course. There will be 40-50 tires.
3. Hurdles – 4’ high plastic horses. There will be a lot of them!
4. Low crawl – crawling into natural creek bed, about 4’ deep, 4’ long. 6" pipes will form the roof of the crawl.
5. Low crawl – also using the natural creek bed, but covered with trees. About 4’ deep, 6’ long.
6. Climb in to wet creek bed – down creek bank using ropes to get down, 8-10 feet embankment. Cross creek that is 15-20’ wide, 6" deep and sandy. Scramble up creek bed on other side.
7. Wall climb – 15’ wide, 5’ high, a mud pit may be placed on the other side.
8. Hay bales – 75 bales placed in a pyramid to climb over.
9. Tunnel mud trench – 15’ diameter pipe half buried. Have to crawl/run through the mud.
10. Rope cross – using parallel ropes
(one for the hands, one for the feet
) cross over creek without falling into the 5’ deep water.
11. Run cross – fjord the creek
12. Run down flight path!
13. Run through water hoses.
The rest of the course is 50% unimproved service roads and 50% dirt trail.
