Sunday River Tough Mountain Challenge

Another site that looks like it popped up, appears to be in the same vein as Warrior Dash, etc.

This event is July 23rd - anyone going?

Adventure racing seems to be pretty popular right now.

There's over a half-dozen companies putting on these races now in the northeast. I did the Rugged Maniac in Southwick, MA last fall. Fun time. Not really sure it's my cup of tea (I prefer triathlons), but fun to do one, to say that I have. The Spartan series and Tough Mudder are probably the hardest from what I've seen.

Yeah, does seem like they are everywhere now. I dunno the Spartan one is only 5 miles, doesn't seem like it would really be that hard. It's basically a 5 mile run int he woods with obstacles, right?

As opposed to the ones that are like 10 miles.
