The course takes racers through 21 obstacles, including mud, freezing water, ropes and burning terrain. I hope the CrossFit coaches don’t get any new ideas from these photos!
Thousands of male and female challengers started the endurance race, with hundreds dropping out along the way due to exhaustion or injury — broken bones, dislocations, and over 600 cases of hypothermia.
