Obstacle #8 Under Cover - Dive to your belly and crawl under the camouflage nets to avoid being detected 30 feet of cover to disappear in.
Obstacle #9 Walk the line - Usually an easy task, but narrow it down to 6 inches wide and raise it from 1 foot to 4 foot up and down, up and down for 40 feet not so easy.
Obstacle #10 Black Hills - As soon as you cross the creek and short meadow you will climb across the peaks and valleys of the Black Hills before descending back to the course.
Obstacle # 11 The Leach Field - As the Black Swamp area you will enter the muck, mud, and water. Then trudge your way up the creek trying to avoid Natures pets.

Obstacle #15 The Stockade - After a trip through the woods along the Portage River you’ll come upon a 12’ high 16’ wide vertical climbing wall built with rungs to help you climb straight up and straight down
Obstacle #16 The Summit - You continue through the woods, weeds and vines down through the Cat Tails and swamp land all to climb a giant dirt hill to the Summit, where you can catch a glimpse of the finish if you don’t have mud in your eyes
Obstacle #17 Slippery Feet - You find yourself on the edge of an inland pond where things get a little slippery when wet! And we will make sure it’s WET!!

We are lighting the course in a verity of ways and there will be special lighting in the spooky woods. We will not be timing this because we want you to take your time and experience the course in a whole new light or No light!
