Course Overview
MoCo Mania consists of 8 functional fitness stations and is competed in teams of 2 or 4. After each station, teams complete a 400 meter synchronized run.

Across the event, athletes will complete 2 miles of total running while rotating through strength, endurance, and conditioning based movements.

The format challenges pacing strategy, communication, muscular stamina, and cardiovascular capacity in a continuous, team based race environment.
