Newbsanity Mud Gauntlet

The 12th annual Mud Gauntlet takes place on one of the Northeast's premier permanent obstacle course venues. The Newbsanity Mud Gauntlet course is consistently nominated as one of the top permanent obstacles courses in the nation. Open wave participants will enjoy awesome swag, elite athletes will compete for a prize purse, and food options will be available to everyone in the festival area throughout the day.
