We need to make things LESS accessible to Fats I did a mud run/obstacle course race today. It was honestly the easiest one I have done so far, with no monkey bars/grip strength obstacles. Most of them involved crawling through mud, climbing up with foot holds, and a lot of hills, so there was very little actual strength involved. We have done 4 of these, and the only one that was remotely this low effort was for a local charity.  Everytime we have done one of these, there are the "walk a 5k" groups with someone way too big to even hurple across the course, much less do something like run up a ramp and haul themselves over the top. But, they always hold up a line of people  so they can "try" then later have someone come rescue them from the track. I'm not even competitive, but I'm tired of standing for 5 minutes in the middle of a race because someone couldn't train their pig properly before taking them out to roll in some dirt. Why do they even think this will be fun for them? Who is telling them they are strong, capable people who could definitely do anything called a race or run?
