ARCHIVED RACE: SEAL Extreme Challenge @ Outdoors in the Smokies, Cosby, TN, United States on 05 April 2014

Based on runner feedback, this is “the toughest 5k’ish adventure race in the Southeast”. This is a difficult course designed to challenge participants both physically and mentally. Runners continually rank the difficulty of this event FAR beyond other popular adventure races. This is not smoke and mirrors…this is no hype… this is the real deal. Pre-registration field is limited to 200… you are not just a number, or one in a thousand or so runners with us… you become family at this one of a kind event. Hosted, developed, and managed by a career retired US Navy SEAL. 65 private acres of mountainous trails and hollows wind participants through woods, up across mountain tops, slog runners through creeks and ponds and up against natural and man made obstacles and near vertical hillside rope climbs. Each time we do a race, the 3.5mile (or so) course is slightly different but it always boasts nearly 3,000ft of combined elevation rise and fall. This is a course like no other! Come prepared to get dirty, wet, muddy, sweaty, and tired!
