The event takes place on one of the Northeast's premier permanent obstacle course venues. The Newbsanity Mud Gauntlet course is consistently nominated by MudRunGuide as one of the top permanent obstacle courses in the nation.

The Newbsanity Mud Gauntlet is a tough and challenging course but offers options on many of the obstacles. This 3.5 mile course winds around 100 acres of wooded terrain in which you'll encounter many natural and man-made obstacles. You'll get to choose your difficulty level by taking either the Risk and Reward path or the Tried and True path. This allows for the seasoned athlete and the first-timer to compete together, side‑by‑side.

Open - This heat is not timed and is for anyone who is looking for mud, obstacles and adventure! Participants in this heat will have a chance to tackle all of the obstacles on the course, but are not required to attempt or complete all obstacles. Athletes are encouraged to help each other out on course and have fun!

Elite - This heat is timed and awards will be given to the top 3 overall male and female finishers. Athletes in this heat are expected to complete all obstacles or associated penalties.

Multi Lap - Awards will be given to the top male and female athletes as determined by the highest number of laps. Athletes in this heat are expected to complete all obstacles or associated penalties. All athletes in this heat can earn additional swag for each lap completed. Athletes may not start a lap after the 4 hour time limit but are able to finish the lap they are on.

Elite + Multi Lap - Athletes that would like to compete in both the elite and multi lap races must sign up using this ticket option. Athletes will first compete in the elite wave, then begin the multi lap race in the 9:30AM wave. Please note, the elite lap will not count towards the overall lap total for the multi lap race.
