Conquer The Gauntlet vs Terrain Race: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026-27)

Conquer The Gauntlet is a family-owned obstacle course race company based in Oklahoma. Its current event is CTG Tulsa, held at 181 Ranch in Bixby, Oklahoma.

The course is 4 miles long with more than 25 large obstacles, and the organisers stress it is not a mud run or a 5K with a few walls. Waves start every 15 minutes through the day and participants choose their time slot. To be ranked as an overall champion, racers must run in the first (elite/competitive) wave and complete every obstacle, repeating failed attempts as often as needed; those competing for overall places wear a cloth belt provided at the start. Later open waves allow runners to move on from an obstacle. There is a kids' course for ages 12 and under, and group pricing for teams. The event suits fit runners who want challenging, upper-body-heavy obstacles, while open waves give newer racers a way in.

Terrain Race is an obstacle and mud 5K produced by EventLab, a US company that also runs fun-run brands such as Bubble Run, Muddy Dash and Blacklight Run. The current event is Terrain Race Irvine, held at Oak Canyon Park in the Silverado area of Orange County, California.

The course is about 3 miles (5 km) of rugged terrain with climbs, crawls, walls, ropes, monkey bars and mud pits. Participants pick a start time and run in waves with friends; a VIP package adds a priority wave start and extra merchandise. Packet pickup is offered the day before the race. The format is aimed at recreational runners, groups and first-time obstacle racers looking for a muddy, single-distance event rather than an elite competition.
