Poor House Farm Challenge | Martinsburg, West Virginia ...

Poor House Challenge 2012 is not only about testing your physical strength but your cardio, navigation, and mental toughness. Are YOU ready? Rules: Athletes must be 16+ You must be part of a 2-person team. Teams will start 5-minute intervals. Results will be determined by fastest course times. Teams will be given a small pumpkin to be used as a score sheet. Teams that return with a damaged or lost score sheet will be subject to time penalties of 20 minutes. Teams will be given a map of Poor House Farm showing the locations of Challenge Stations. When the race starts, teams will proceed to Challenge Station 1, complete the exercise and get a proctor to initial their Score Sheet. Teams will continue to navigate through all Stations in order to receive all proctor initials and complete race! Proctors will not provide navigational assistance to teams. Teams must complete each Challenge exercise in its entirety to receive the approval and initial of proctors. If a team is unable to complete the exercise after three attempts, they must complete 25 Burpees and be subject to a 60-second time penalty. Proctors have the final word. Any arguing with proctors may result in disqualification from the Challenge. If a team arrives at a Challenge Station and the proctor is busy with another team, the latter team must wait patiently for completion. Water stations will be set-up throughout the Challenge, however teams are advised to carry water. If a team crosses the finish line without a proctor’s initials, that team must go back to the missing Station and complete the exercise, at which time they may proceed to the finish line.
