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.

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]

[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.... |

|

Mmmmmmmmmm pork scratchings. I would have a pint with that but I can't order stuff from the bar. |

|
| |
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. |
|
