The Alameda County Fairgrounds is set to again play host to an intense, athletically demanding obstacle course, along with thousands of revelers in a day-long festival, as the Rugged Maniac tour stops in town this Saturday.
The Rugged Maniac challenge consists of 25 obstacles in a three-mile off-road course, including fire jumps, underground tunnels, trampolines, warped walls, balance beams and a 50-foot-tall water slide.
The event also features a day-long festival for racers and spectators that includes live music, mechanical bulls, pie-eating contests, food, drinks and more.
“We’ve got a lot of great things in store for 2017,” Rugged Races chief operating officer Rob Dickens said.
“For starters, our engineers have designed some big, exciting obstacles that will make things even crazier out on the course,” he added. “We’ve partnered with Anytime Fitness to produce an amazing obstacle course training program for all of our Maniacs, and we’ve added new varieties of beer to our festival.”
The Rugged Maniac event runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the fairgrounds on Pleasanton Avenue. The obstacle course costs $100 to participate in, while the festival is free to attend for spectators. For ticket information, visit www.ruggedmaniac.com.
