If the phrase “tires of terror” fills you with athletic delight, then the Survival Race is the marathon for you. Think three miles of muddy obstacle course fun, the perfect opportunity to prove your prowess for climbing on cargo nets — or at least the opportunity to give your friends and family a laugh when you fall off. The event, put on by national organization The Survival Race, is meant to be a lighthearted, invigorating team challenge that lets your competitive side thrive outside of the office rat race in the great outdoors. Form a team and register by September 27, the Thursday before the event. This is definitely not the day to debut your shiny new sneakers. $50. 8am-4pm, Saturday, Sept. 29.
