Event Description

We are back at East Rock Park in New Haven for the Spring Run the Gauntlet Race Obstacle Race. Run the Gauntlet at east Rock Park is part of the Denali Gauntlet Race Series (Denali also has a Fall Run the Gauntlet which is held at Lighthouse Point Park). Run the Gauntlet East Rock features a 5K course with 15 man-made and natural obstacles. 9:00am, 9:30am and 10:00am heats are available. The 9:00am heat is the Championship Heat! To encourage friendly competition and eliminate traffic, we encourage our fastest runners to compete in the 9:00am heat. Please note you can win an award in any heat. After the race, participants are invited to enjoy a post-race party featuring pizza from Old World Pizza Truck, beer from Thimble Island Brewing Company, and live entertainment. Proceeds from Run the Gauntlet support the Denali Foundation Scholarship Fund.

Run as an individual or on a team! Teams are a minimum of three participants, no maximum! Teams can compete in our open, family, corporate or CrossFit/gym divisions!
