The Obstacles
Elevation
The incredible elevation changes of steep Inclines, Descents and Dips throughout the property are a few fun challenges that will push your muscles to their breaking point.
Chilly Jordan
A waist deep wade through the Mines water. Did we mention it's a freezing 50 degrees?
Pondered
Ponder whether to use the rope or swim through our natural pond.
Devil's Rock
A twisty, rope-assisted climb on our mine's rock face. Steady now.
Ditch of Doom
We don't jog through tires here...you get limber over some timbers and ditches!
Mt. Zion
Another rope-assisted climb to a new elevation. You can do this!
The Mines
56 degrees year round, while partially lit by electric as well as more antiquated methods. Each passageway is approximately 20-30' wide and 20'+ high. It’s huge, dark and beautiful to behold as you speed through the maze inside.
Tame the Flame
A fire jump-over testing your leap of faith.
Highway to Heaven
Rope-assisted grassy hill on a 45-55 degree angle for conditioning.
Mirey Clay
Shimmey through a natural branch covering and end with a murky mud run.
Leap of Faith
Lumber affixed on two trees make for a fun hurdle, right?
Devil's Armpit
One of our several “natural” obstacles, is actually a historical artifact left over from the 18th century “Iron Age” of Southern Ohio, when the locals would excavate the hilltops in search of iron ore to feed the many charcoal furnaces of the area. Now that you know the history, you can really enjoy the slippery, muddy mess as you struggle through it!
Pit of Despair
Decision Valley
Move through a deep water pit and continue to the finish!
Time to make a last minute decision!
