Terrain Race, the nation’s fastest growing obstacle course race, returns to Western Pennsylvania this Saturday, October 12th. This weekend will be the first time this event has been hosted in Monroeville, a suburb east of Downtown Pittsburgh.
Terrain Race is produced by CoolEvents, the nation’s largest experiential event company, in association with VM Sports, Monroeville Pennsylvania’s tourism bureau for athletic events. Over 7,500 participants and spectators are expected at Monroeville Community Park.
“Thanks to Visit Monroeville and VM Sports for allowing us the opportunity to engage their community and get people from all over Western Pennsylvania to enjoy what Monroeville has to offer,” said CoolEvents CEO Bill Spata. “We welcome the opportunity to work with communities around the country.”
Terrain Race is an obstacle course race that is approximately five kilometers long where participants can expect mud pits, walls, ropes, monkey bars, and a variety of additional obstacles that will be placed around the unique terrain of the venue.
