The challenge is not measured in miles or distance, but instead focuses on completing each obstacle in the course. Here is a quick overview of the event.

Some of the obstacles on the San Antonio course may include: 

Monster Barrels - Jump over large barrels placed on the course.

Side Winder - Twist and turn as you climb sideways while fighting the push and pull from other participants on a net.

Silver Back - Climb an inverted overhanging cargo net in order to conquer a wall.

Sea of Ropes - Navigate through a sea of ropes.

Gut Buster -  You'll be stretched across two bars as you make your way to the other side.

Sky Walk - Bounce your way from platform to platform on a series of trampolines.

Pit Fall - Swing over 30 feet to an inverted cargo net.

Robin Wood - Another large wall obstacle. To get over it you'll need to save your strength and utilize your teammates.

Radial Rings - The Radial Rings will have you swinging and turning every which way as you curve your way to the landing platform.

Spider Wall- Make sure to get a big jump on the Spider Wall as you wedge your body between glass walls and make your way to the top of the obstacle.

Alcatraz - Alcatraz has it all. Tight spaces, heights, swinging monkey bars. Oh and spectators get to watch from inside the obstacle as you battle the mayhem.
