Doing Rugged Maniac Saturday..Any tips?

So I run with a group of woman and 1 of the coaches is injured and offered me her spot so I took it.

What should I bring. I am going to ask the other ladies what they are doing, but just wondering the logistics.

I was going to buy workout gloves (I workout regularly and was planning to buy anyway), will that help me?
Change of clothes
gallons of water, maybe 2 to rinse off..they have stations the website recommended this.
Where do you keep your key? I have pants with a hidden zipper and I was thinking of putting my keyfabe in a ziplock and then putting it in there.

Any other tips?

I did one about 2 years ago. It was awesome. I think you have it covered. The only things I can think of are make sure you pick the right work out clothes. I had pants that were straight leg not leggings and the weight of the mud and water on the loose part of the leg kind of pulled my pants down which was annoying. Also i wore a headband to keep any loose hair off my face.

You will def need a change of clothes and shoes. The one I went to had a water spraying station at the end and then a big tent to change in. I rinsed off in my dirty clothes and then changed. My sneakers were disgusting so I ended up dontating them. They had a station to leave them.

There were also water stations throughout the course. I am not sure that you can carry any water with you and be able to navigate the obstacles. HTH!

Have fun!!!
