Grab some buddies and run a 5k. Challenge each other, but stay together as a group.
Did you know courses were certified using the shortest distance possible? In other words, the person certifying marks the course using the most efficient distance possible. It's quite easy for a new runner to run MORE than the measured 5k by turning too wide or just remaining on one side of the road. Practice your turns and try to keep the race to 5k and not 5.1 or 5.2. It takes practice.
The same holds true for obstacle races. It's possible to improve run times by turning corners tightly and using the terrain to your advantage. Zombie runs are an exception if you have to escape and evade.
Have fun
I'm running obstacle races hard. I thank God for my health and the US Army for 22 years of physical training. After retiring 10 years ago, I'm still trying to stay in shape. Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training keeps me motivated.
