Many of the same obstacles (tunnel crawls, log hurdles, 6 foot climbing wall, cargo net crawls) used by the young men and women in their quest to become a U.S. Marine. In addition, live music, fun giveaways, and a Ooh-Rah good time await you as you enter the gates of the fabled Marine Corps Recruit Depot. Admission is free to the festival, register for the Challenge. See how the Marines are made!

The 3-mile course features over 60 Marine Corps Drill Instructors encouraging and motivating runners along the course.
