ABOUT THE EVENT
BARBER BEAST ON THE BAY is an extreme obstacle course challenge that
takes place along Lake Erie at Presque Isle State Park. The total course
length is a grueling 10 miles.
The obstacle course is designed by a team of competitive Obstacle Course
Racers who have some hardcore challenges in store for competitors.
Participants should prepare to scale walls, traverse bodies of mucky water
and race through wooded trails!
The event will begin at Beach 11 and end at Waldameer Park where spectators
and participants can chill out, have a beer, grab a bite to eat and enjoy some
music. This day-long event is a great opportunity for sponsors to connect
with a large gathering of participants, family and friends.
The ADAPTED COURSE is a 1.2 mile obstacle course
offered for adults with disabilities. This unique event
will offer customized sponsorship opportunities.
All proceeds from this event benefit the Barber National Institute, an organization committed to “Making
dreams come true” for children and adults with autism
and
developmental
disabilities.
Registration
discounts are offered to those who want to help raise
funds for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Still Need a Way to Get Involved?
DESIGN YOUR OWN OBSTACLE (10 AVAILABLE)
New this year, we are encouraging local organizations, clubs and gyms to build their own
obstacle for inclusion in the course. Each obstacle can be designed and built by the sponsoring organization (subject to approval by Barber Beast on the Bay). So have fun, get
creative and come up with a way to “Beat the Beast!” Brand the obstacle to your business,
staff with your employees/volunteers, and reach a great demographic with your message!
