Brief Description

Newport Beach - on the sand, 10-14 fitness challenges, a run/or walk around the back bay, many screaming Marines motivating you, sounds like fun?
Event will have 3 categories:
* Devil Dogs - 2K with 10 challenges
* Extreme - 5K with 14 challenges
* Devil Pups (Youth Course)

Can I do this?

Yes, we all can. The 2K and 5K course is for all fitness levels, 14 and over. For youth between 6 and 14 years we have a 1K course with 7 "not so easy" challenges!
The challenges will be a somewhat scaled down version of the "real" thing. You will still "enjoy" some sand in combat gear on the low crawl and back crawl, a good workout tossing grenades and dragging a litter, lifting amo cans, sand bag carry - all in the sand- while Marines are "motivating" you!

FEES

Online by 11pm PCT, January 17th (DAY OFF):
* Devil Dogs - 2K with 10 challenges - $40 ($50)
* Extreme - 5K with 15 challenges - $50 ($60)
