MCRD Bootcamp Challenge
The three-mile run is part obstacle course, featuring the same physical challenges that Marines Corps Recruits encounter during their training. In addition, more than 60 United States Marine Corps Drill Instructors will be on hand to encourage participants as they tackle the course.
The course will take place on paved roads and hard-packed dirt. Participants will face more than 40 obstacles, including hay jumps, tunnel crawls, log hurdles, six foot walls, trenches, cargo net walls, and push-up stations throughout the race. Awards will be handed out to the top three finishers in each of the 29 categories divided into different age groups, individual performances, and team performances. The race will begin in 5-minute waves, starting with the elite division, then individual men, individual women, 3-person teams and lastly, the 5-person teams.
Registration for the event is $39 per individual, $117 per 3-person team, and $195 per 5-person team. www.bootcampchallenge.com. All participants will receive an official race T-shirt. Proceeds go to the Quality of Life programs for Marines and Sailor stations aboard the MCRD San Diego. Followed by a post-race party, featuring music, food, and beer.
