It's not timed, and so a lot of people walk or jog most of the way.\n\nThe obstacles are incredible. A few fun slides ... the 'wrecking ball' is difficult but a blast even when you land in the water. The jump balls are pretty much impossible, but we got to try 3 times, which was fun. Then at the end they blast you with foam. Good times.\n\nA few suggestions to make it even better next year:\n-Consistent Prices: It was pretty annoying that after paying full price there were tons and tons of groupons offered. If that's going to happen, people should be able to price-adjust.\n-It's annoying not being able to pick your run time. We selected the early wave (which goes from 7:30 AM - I think 11:30 AM), but unfortunately were placed right at the beginning. Early mornings are great for some, but it would be nice to choose.\n-There needs to be more of a variety of food and drinks available at the end. We finished the race at 8:30 AM and they had burgers and beers. Especially for the morning runners, offer bagels and orange juice/mimosas.\n-Check-in needs to be improved. We got email after email saying to go Thursday, and we ended up in a 90 minute line. It was awful.\n-It's odd that the 'after party' isn't until later in the night. A lot of fun runs have big party spots with live music right after you finish the race. That's the way to do it.\n\nAll that being said, I'm still giving this 4 stars because I can't imagine a more enjoyable fun run. It was terrific."^^ . . "2014-11-15T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
