NEW in 2013: EXTREME QUAD
Think you have what it takes to sperunk 4 times around? Test your limits by registering for Extreme Quad. It is still an underground race and you will still run, hurdle obstacles and tiptoe through "quicksand". Only it will be four times around and will push you to your limit - if you can make it!
