Mud and Adventure | Outdoor Active Adventures Begin Here.

As an avid Spartan Racer, I swore I would never run a Tough Mudder. What was the point, right? I loved Spartans and didn’t see a need to register for an untimed rival race when I could be training for or running real races. I think it was stories of TM’s distaste for Spartan that originally got me riled up (TM throwing people out for wearing Spartan T-Shirts or spreading Spartan marketing materials in the parking lots), compounded by their innate ability to always schedule a race the same weekend as a local Spartan...

Kacy Catanzaromakes American Ninja Warrior history as she becomes the first woman ever to complete the course. Congrats Kacy!

This may be BattleFrogs first event, but don't kid yourself, they have big plans, and the only place I see them going in the future is UP!

This weekend was bittersweet. I was stuck in sunny paradise working on various projects but got to watch through social media as my Team Mud and Adventure teammates do what they do best - took names and owned themselves some races. Without further ado and in no particular order: In Conyers, Georgia at the first ever BattleFrog Series event: Andi Hardy took fourth place female on Saturday in the 15k race and...on Sunday came back for first place female in the 15K and 3rd place female (1st in age group) in the 5k event. Matt "IronBeast" Dolitsky came in 19th overall and 2nd in his age group in the 15k race Saturday.

May 17th, 2014- Berkshire East Ski Resort, located about 2 hours north west of Albany NY in Charlemont MA was host to the 2nd event for the NAVY SEAL run BONEFROG CHALLENGE.

CONFIRMED! Elite obstacle racer, Hobie Call, will be in attendance at BattleFrog's inaugural Atlanta race, May 31st. Many of you know Hobie, but for those who do not, here are some Hobie fun facts: • Fastest known time for lunging a mile • 2:16 marathon runner • Multiple-time OCR winner (41 first place finishes)

There has been a great deal of chatter lately about Obstacle Course Racing as an Olympic event. Most recently, Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena attributed his removal of the iconic gladiators from the end of his races to an effort to comply with Olympic restrictions. I suspect this reason probably sounded better than what was actually going on - namely insurance issues, but it got enough people talking about OCR and the Olympics.

Off to Tweed, Ontario we go. The location for the Doomsday Race was at the Trudeau's Park Resort about 20 minutes north of Napanee on Stoco Lake. This is a beautiful setting with a breeze coming off the water to keep racers cool.

Why sign up for something that sounds so difficult you ask? It’s funny because I have several racing buddies who love running road races, obstacle course races, and anything new but the idea of the un-known (The Death Race) leaves no desire for them. Why did I sign up for it? Easy answer.

Six exercises, three rounds. No warm up. Slight ease of workload as you go through the rounds (see below). Use the same dubmbell and kettlebell weights in each round (adjust to your own fitness level).
