  Ultimate Raider Challenge – Course Navigation Instructions

  Start

  Competitors will begin at the designated start line and complete an approximately 1-mile run. This run will conclude at the entrance to the obstacle course.

  Obstacle Course (14 Obstacles / Approx. 1.5 Miles Total)

  Competitors must complete each obstacle in order before moving on to the next. Course marshals will direct traffic as needed. These marshals will be GCHS JROTC Cadets.

  Obstacle 1: Inverted Wall

  Climb the angled wall using the rungs on the overhanging side. Use leg drive for power and arms for pulling to go up and over the top in control.

  Obstacle 2: Balance Beam

  Carefully traverse the beam from start to finish, maintaining balance and coordination. Falling requires a remount at the point of dismount.

  Obstacle 3: 10-Foot Wall

  Scale the vertical wall using strength, technique, and problem-solving. Pull yourself up and over the top safely before dropping down under control.

  Obstacle 4: Duck Walk

  Move forward in a low squat position, testing lower-body strength, mobility, and endurance.

  Obstacle 5: Cleopatra’s Crawl

  Navigate the vertical beam structure by climbing and maneuvering over the tall framework, emphasizing grip strength, upper-body control, and coordination.

  Obstacle 6: Bear Crawl

  Proceed through the course on hands and feet, simulating crawling over or under terrain. Maintain forward movement and body control throughout.

  Obstacle 7: Tunnel

  Enter the low, confined tunnel and move through using an army crawl or similar technique. Focus on steady breathing, controlled movement, and endurance.

  Obstacle 8: Jacob’s Ladder

  Climb the tall, angled ladder with wide-spaced rungs. Maintain balance, control, and confidence while ascending and descending.

  Obstacle 9: Pipe Walk

  Traverse the horizontal pipes using balance, grip strength, and core stability. Hand-over-hand movement and careful foot placement are essential.

  Obstacle 10: Inclined Wall

  Run up the wall using speed and leg drive, pull yourself over the top, and descend efficiently to maintain momentum.

  Obstacle 11: Hip Over

  With hands interlocked behind the head, step over each horizontal beam by rotating hips and legs together. Do not touch the beams.

  Obstacle 12: Double Roll-Over

  Use explosive strength and momentum to roll your body over the high bars. Techniques such as the “chicken wing” may be used to get your center of gravity over the bar.

  Obstacle 13: Low Crawl

  Execute a low or leopard-style crawl, staying flat and close to the ground. Move with opposite arm and leg coordination for speed and control.

  Obstacle 14: Up and Over

  Climb over the final log or beam using upper-body strength and leg drive. Pull, kip, or swing as needed to clear the obstacle safely.

  Sprint-Drag-Carry Event (Football Field)

  After completing the obstacle course, competitors will proceed directly to the football field to complete the Sprint-Drag-Carry Event.

  Lanes are first come, first serve.

  The event is conducted in a 25-meter lane and consists of five consecutive segments:

  Sprint: 25 meters down and back

  Sled Drag: 25 meters down and back dragging a 45-lb sled

  Lateral Shuffle: 25 meters down and back, facing the same direction

  Kettlebell Carry: 25 meters down and back carrying two 40-lb kettlebells

  Final Sprint: 25 meters down and back sprint to finish

  Competitors must complete all segments in sequence without skipping any portion.

  Final Run

  Upon completion of the Sprint-Drag-Carry event, competitors will immediately begin the final 1-mile run, finishing at the designated end point to officially complete the Ultimate Raider Challenge.
