Free parking is available on Beast Day in the lot located at Waldameer off of the Peninsula Drive entrance. From there, participants can board shuttles to go to the start line at Beach 11. Please do not leave valuables in your car.

Course Tips:

The Beast is designed to challenge all athletic levels. If you want to run the course and hurdle every obstacle, that’s great! If you want to walk the course, picking and choosing which obstacles to do, that’s fine too!

You will be exposed to the outside elements on the course and are encouraged to wear insecticide to avoid bug bites (including ticks). It’s also recommended that you wear sunscreen, sunglasses, gloves and proper athletic shoes!

Seven water stations are placed throughout the course (refer to map). The water stations are long fountains connected to a water source. Volunteers will make sure water is flowing and ready to drink as you approach.
Two of these seven stations double as a hydration/nutrition station. Fruit, protein bars and water will be provided. Plan ahead & bring your own nutrition bars if you have particular needs. We also will have some items at the finish line.

Participants can pick up their packets (bib, time chip, etc.) beginning at 6:30 a.m. at Waldameer.
