The course is 10 miles, and it says it takes most people 2.5 to three hours. I can only imagine the obstacles won't service hundreds of runners at any given point. I would expect a fair amount of standing around...especially if you are waiting on teammates who you don't want to get out in front of or leave behind.

Exactly. The Warrior Dash website dubs their event as the "Craziest frickin' day of your life." While for some a 3.55 mile obstacle course followed by beer may be the the crowning achievement of their lives, others call that Friday PT.
BTW, I'm registered for Warrior Dash Pennsylvania this year. Anyone else competing? Grandma?
