Obstacle Breakdown: The Sandbag Loop!
Expect to see 3 to 4 obstacles within the sandbag loop.💪💪
The Rope Climb is a staple obstacle in the sport of obstacle course racing. If you haven't reached the bell on this one yet, once you learn how to use your feet so that you're not having to muscle your way up, you'll be crushing it in no time.
Be sure to watch Ken Gray in our training highlight where he explains and shows each technique.
If you have time to explore the area while you're in town, go check out Starved Rock State Park!
This is one of the most frequently asked questions:
"When does the course map get released?"
We release the course map during race week after the obstacles are moved to where they need to go on the property. Weather and other unforeseen things can happen during build week that will force us to have to make changes, so to make sure we give you an accurate course map, we'll never release it until all obstacles are in their place.
You don't have to be ready. You just have to show up.
