The Naticook Challenge 5K Obstacle Course Race returns to Wasserman Park on Saturday October 14th for it's fourth 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 105 registered participants will receive an official Naticook Challenge 2023 Runners T-Shirt. All registered participants will earn a completion medal.

Race Start Time: 9:00 am
Cost: $30
Due to the popularity of the race the 105 spaces have sold out, an extra 20 spaces were created however these registrations will not have a 2023 shirt included (still includes the race medal). A limited number of shirts from previous years will be available for late registrants on a first come first serve basis the morning of the race.
The total number of entries in the race is limited to 105 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.
