Race Review - Black Swamp Moonlight Run

This was our second one after the Chicago Terrain.  It was a little bit of a haul (4hrs).  It is a series.  We did the first one, then we did this one and we will have one more night one in October.

We are continuing this one only because we paid for it.  It is an okay race but it is way to far to do.  Not to mention that water we have to go through is nasty.  It is black, smells like death and it takes like 5 washes to get the smell out.  I know it is a "swamp" run but it would be nice if you could opt to not go through the nasty water.

It is a small company owned by a husband and wife so we don't mind supporting them.  Just not sure we will do it next year.

I will say - the night one was so much better than the day one.  The obstacles were the same but it being night with like a billion glow sticks and different lighting and props made it a lot better.

They are a nice couple and they work their tails off.  So if you are looking for a race in Oak Harbor, OH - check them out.

I have to admit.....coming from the Chicago Terrain and seeing the rig collapse made me so hesitant on the obstacles.  I couldn't help but think if it collapsed.....let me say, that does not happen.  It was a rare accident.  But still scary nonetheless.
