5K The Hard Way combines insane obstacles with some of the most rugged, hidden terrain in Nebraska! From first-time mud runners and joggers to hardcore ninja warriors and marathon runners, this obstacle course will challenge everyone. 5k The Hard Way will test your strength, agility, stamina and mind.

Participants wind through rugged forest country and a vineyard. There are several creek crossings and daring suspension bridges. You will sprint across balance beams, scale climbing walls, navigate up and down steep bluffs and run up and over the Magic Bus! And don’t forget our infamous 100 foot water slide!

If you start to fade you can grab a drink at the Jungle Bar right in the heart of the jungle.

Miltary members (past or present) run for just $35.00, and kids 14 and under run for just $30.00.

5K The Hard Way is featured in “The Runner’s Bucket List.” This book chronicles the world’s greatest (and most unique) running adventures!

There is never a cover charge for spectators. And as always…..FREE PARKING!
