1. DD Mega Slide: this is the world’s largest inflatable slide and extremely popular at this event. Climb up one side and plunge down on a 90-degree angle into a pool of water at the end. This obstacle will help you overcome your fear of heights, and leave you rinsed off and ready to go!

2. Lily Pads: keep those feet moving! You better have quick feet to run over these magic carpets laid out on top of the water. If you’re not careful, be prepared to sink or swim.

3. The Dirty Belly Mud Crawl: from mega slide to mud run, get down and dirty in this obstacle and don’t be afraid to get a little mud on your shirt! Be ready to dive in head first and crawl your way through a pit of mud under a low set of ropes to get to the other side. You’re sure to come out covered head to toe in mud.

8. Foam Zone: it’s called Foam Fest for a reason we had to have an entire obstacle dedicated to getting covered in foam! Run, slide, or jump through as our foam maker sprays you head to toe with foam.
