Brief Description

Can you beat the beast? That’s a question many people will be asking in preparation for Barber Beast on the Bay, the region’s first fitness adventure challenge that the Barber National Institute will hold on September 7, 2013 at Presque Isle State Park. The new event, set to coincide with the 200th anniversary celebration of Perry’s battle in Lake Erie, will be a fundraiser to benefit services for the more than 4,200 children and adults served by the Barber National Institute.

Additional Information

Barber Beast on the Bay will offer 12-mile and 6-mile course options that will include obstacles based upon the trials faced by sailors and ship builders in the War of 1812, as well as some of the challenges used in the training of Navy SEALS, America’s elite fighting corps. Participants will be challenged with a surprise water obstacle that relates to the battle that took place near Misery Bay. To help carry out the theme, participants and spectators will also be encouraged to dress in costumes from the 1812 War and time period.
