It's a 5k + clue scavenger hunt. It is not gnarly like Warrior Dash or Muddy Buddy. The obstacles are fairly tame. And it doesn't qualify for C2C. As for scary, it depends on how you feel about obstacles like balance beams. rope nets, etc.
If you search this forum, you may find some race reports to give you a feel of what it's like.
Thanks!! That sounds like fun! Not necessarily something I would travel across the country for, but if it happens to fall on a weekend while I'm there, or if they ever add a half to it, I might just give it a whirl!
