The one-day Rugged Maniac 5K challenges participants to a 3-mile course littered with 14 burly obstacles cribbed from Navy SEAL training grounds. Arizona Cycle Park’s rough terrain welcomes runners with mud-covered obstructions planted throughout its forests, fields, and motocross tracks. Test endurance levels while scaling 7-foot-high walls, shimmying quickly down a high-speed waterslide, or mending clothes after run-ins with the course’s piranha sentries. To eliminate runner roadblocks and obstacle waiting lines, groups of 350 runners start in 30-minute waves throughout the day. An electronic timing system helps clock each participant’s times and alerts officials in case hurdles gain self-awareness.
Post-race, participants chill out at after-party events including live music, grub, and frothy brews. While not invited to the after-party, spectators make their own fun in the festival arena, open for all-day partying backdropped by concerts, nationally recognized brewskis, and festival fare.

About Rugged Maniac
Rugged Maniac 5K Obstacle Race invites participants to climb trees and play tag just like they did when they were children. During this three mile race, adults can feel like kids again as they run through over 25 obstacles such as fire jumps and underground tunnels each presenting a playful challenge.
Off the course, the party keeps going with events ranging from bull-riding to pie-eating contests as well as music from live DJs. Participants can also feel good while having fun as proceeds from the race go towards supporting the American Cancer Society.
