Just combine military training parcours with all your favorite obstacles (haphazard barbed wire, walls and, of course, the dreaded MUD PIT) and hold a running competition on it. No, I do not just mean a competition for soldiers somewhere on a military base but a competition for athlets which is broadcasted
like, e.g., the olympics.
This would add more variety to the races as each track could be designed in a different way, posing interesting difficulties to the runners.
Tough Guy.

Race, barbed wire, cross-country, walls, lots of mud, real athletes, broadcast (ok, local news item), designed differently each season. All of the idea's requirements and more - fancy dress! [sappho, Jul 08 2002, last modified Oct 17 2004]

<weeping> this is my fourth fishboned idea. i should go off to HalfFishmongery, right? |

Congratulations for hanging in there.. Now stop whining and think of a winner.. |

[Saruman] I am going to give you a croissant for that remark and the underlying humour. There is nothing wrong with the idea at all, perhaps halfbakers are not particularly athletic. I know I am not, perhaps make it a pub game of sorts.... |

make mine a pint and a packet of pork scratchings, SIR! |
|
| |
Mmmmmmmmmm pork scratchings. I would have a pint with that but I can't order stuff from the bar. |
|
| |
oh sod the rules, I will buy you a pint kaz - cheers |
|
| |
gotcha, now you have to go over the obstacle course with a pint of lager in yer, hah . |
|
| |
I don't know, but i hear they get terrible athlets hang-nail. |
|
| |
Note that the biathlon is just such an event - ski and shoot. No barbed wire, tho. |
|
| |
bliss: ...and what shall we make of the "Lego Brand Stack-A-Cat Happy Hat"...? |

Um, BAKED? Tough Guy races, each summer and winter here in the UK. Going for a link now. |
