It’s that time again! This week we’re taking a look at a staple in the Mud Run hall of fame. The Barbed Wire Crawl.

If somehow you manage to keep clean until you reach the barbed wire crawl, you can rest assured your washing machine will be getting some use later on. You’ll be on all fours, crawling through a mudpit as close to the ground as you can. So make sure you don’t wear that Louis Vuitton t-shirt, there’s no avoiding the mess on this one.

Make sure you get in a rhythm and keep your momentum going, or you can be like a few people in this video and just roll on your sides:

And when you’re done crawling, it’s off to the next obstacle with a new layer of thick, heavy mud coating you. What can possibly be better than that?

OBSTACLE TIP: Have your plan and stick with it. This obstacle is just as much mental as it is physical. Plan your strategy before hitting the floor, and keep it in your mind the entire time you’re crawling.

If you want to compete in this obstacle, along with nearly a dozen other muddy monstrosities, be sure to sign up for the Hollis Adams Mud Run TODAY!
