Our Field
Obstacle Wonderland has a unique layout with all main obstacles spaced appropriately across one field. Trails wind throughout the back portion of the main field in an all-terrain circuit. Spectators are asked to keep off the course while the event is in session for their safety and the safety of athletes.

While we encourage everyone to challenge themselves and pursue their OCR goals at Obstacle Wonderland, we ask that you be mindful of safety and listen to your body as you navigate the course. There’s no shame in taking breaks or skipping obstacles! We’re here to have fun and to challenge ourselves and each other SAFELY.
Penalties
There are no applicable penalties for this race, but if you are unable to complete an obstacle 20 jump squats are in order!
Please be mindful and courteous to others that may be waiting for the obstacle. Due to OW’s unique course design, you can always come back after the race is over and try those rings or spear throw again. Give it a try and move on to the next.
