WHEELING, W.Va. (WTRF) — Ogden Wellness Weekend is about three weeks away.
7News is covering the Tough as Nails Urban Challenge sponsored by The Health Plan.
Its 5-mile course will feature 20 obstacles in the path of hundreds of runners.
A bridge will be built over the swimming pool.
There is a slide at the top of the intermodal parking lot.
And then there are the WTRF obstacles that are guaranteed to hit you against the wall.
In setting up this year’s obstacle course, well, we encountered a lot of obstacles.
Most are orange.
There’s a lot of construction going on downtown and throughout the area. So we’re building on that theme and one of the obstacles is the Conquer The Cones obstacle, which will be a little maze that participants will have to go through this year. ”
Eric Anderson, Race Director
WTRF’s roadblocks along the waterfront aren’t just for a day at the beach.
The best way to do it is to climb the 6-foot wall at the corner of 12th and Water Streets and go straight over the wall! ”
Eric Anderson, Race Director
The Tough as Nails Urban Challenge is not for the faint of heart.
People should already have plenty of fitness built into their bodies, but it will be a great challenge and we want participants to have fun doing it. ”
Eric Anderson, Race Director
The Tough as Nails Urban Challenge will be held on Sunday, May 26th at noon.
