12 • Saturday, January 1, 2014 The News The Georgia International Horse Park turned into a course of mud, barbed wire and ropes for the Metro BattleFrog Obstacle Course Race last weekend. The course was a 1, 5 or 15K obstacle race designed by Navy SEALS. It required running, climbing, swinging, jumping, swimming and crawling through the mud. The event opened with a U.S. Navy helicopter flyover, followed by the sounds of a cannon before actual Navy SEALS led the first heat. Some highlighted local finishers were 16-yearold Jordan Dobson of Conyers, who came in 15th overall and third in the 15-19 division, and Jenn Northup of Covington who was 49th overall, fifth overall female and second in the female 3539 division. out and about MUD & GUTS The Georgia International Horse Park becomes a Navy SEALS-designed obstacle course photos by Darrell Everidge/The News Community Calendar Please note the calendar deadline for Saturday’s paper is noon Thursday.
