Figure this is the best place for this.

Anyone done this event?

They will be hosting in Jackson next April and I think I really want to do this.

That looks pretty cool. If there's one in my area and I have a pair of tennis shoes to sacrifice, I might try it out.

Although, a lot of those activities look suspiciously familiar.. but I'm sure they'd be more fun with beer!

There is a similar event called Gladiator Rock and Run, based on the old American Gladiator series, where you have to run obstacles similar to the ones on the TV show. It's a 5k run, and there are 14 obstacles on the course. There are three live bands playing along the way as well.

Events planned in Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania so far.

http://www.gladiatorrocknrun.com/what.html

Edit:
Each survivor receives:


  • Free Beer.* (Must be 21 or older)
  • Three bands.
  • Rock'n Rumble Pit.
  • A "Gladiator Tough" Finishers Medal
  • A "Limited Edition" Gladiator Rock'n Run
  • T-shirt by Affliction.
  • A Commemorative Rock-wild Red Mohawk. (limited to the first 500)
  • Sweet prizes for top finishers.
  • Bad-ass post race party.
  • The most insane day of your life.
  • A memory that will echo into eternity.
    * Each participant receives one free beer. Don’t be an idiot. Don’t drink and drive.

I've done it and it's a lot of fun! Also going to try the Spartan Race this year.
