Description
The Boot Camp Challenge and Festival is a day long adventure, which includes a 3-mile race using the fabled Marine Corps Recruit Training Area. Many of the same obstacles (tunnel crawls, log hurdles, 6 foot climbing wall, cargo net crawls) used by the young men and women in their quest to become a U.S. Marine. In addition, live music, fun giveaways, and a Ooh-Rah good time await you as you enter the gates of the fabled Marine Corps Recruit Depot. Admission is free to the festival, register for the Challenge. See how the Marines are made!
The 3-mile course features over 60 Marine Corps Drill Instructors encouraging and motivating runners along the course. This is an invitation from MCRD San Diego to the community to experience a truly unique opportunity to be a Marine for the day, using a fun race format. The course is designed for all fitness levels, no penalty for missed or incomplete obstacles. Great corporate team builder opportunity!
