The Naticook Challenge 5K Obstacle Course Race returns to Wasserman Park on Saturday October 12th for it's fifth year. Come and join Merrimack Parks & Recreation for this Annual 5K Race that is both fun and challenging to test your abilities.
If you are new to this, you may be asking yourself, what is an obstacle course race? It is a trail based race that takes place within Wasserman Park as well as on the Conservation Trails that border the Park and that involves challenges for the other parts of your body (crawling, climbing, or hanging for examples).
The course is a 5k distance and includes 8 or more beginner to intermediate level obstacles. There are obstacle bypass exercises available if unable to complete an obstacle.
The first 150 registered participants will receive an official Naticook Challenge Runners T-Shirt. All registered participants will also earn a completion medal.
Limited shirts sizes available (as of 10/4/24)
We are currently looking for volunteers to help us on Race Day for check-in, course monitors and awards. Volunteers are needed from 8:00 am - 10:30 am. If interested, click here to register.
Race Start Time: 9:00 am
Cost: $35
The total number of entries in the race is limited to 150 participants and we encourage people to register early. Runners will go out in small groups in different waves. Waves will be spaced out 2 minutes apart.
