Countdown to Race Day
What is the Gaylord Gauntlet
Held entirely on the Gaylord Hospital campus, which features 400 acres of land in a rural Wallingford setting. It is a blend of wooded trail and open field, running with natural and man-made obstacles. Mud will be used sparingly, but upper body strength will be featured in some obstacles, including a rock wall climb and vine swings.
